新约 -- 提多书(Titus) -- 第 1 章 ( 本篇共有 3 章 ) 　

1:1 神的仆人，耶稣基督的使徒保罗，凭着神选民的信心，与敬虔真理的知识，

Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;

1:2 盼望那无谎言的神在万古之先所应许的永生，

In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

1:3 到了日期，藉着传扬的工夫，把他的道显明了。这传扬的责任，是按着神我们救主的命令交托了我。

But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;

1:4 现在写信给提多，就是照着我们共信之道作我真儿子的。愿恩惠平安，从父神和我们的救主基督耶稣归与你。

To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.

1:5 我从前留你在克里特，是要你将没有辨完的事都辨整齐了，又照我所吩咐你的，在各城设立长老。

For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:

1:6 若有无可指责的人，只作一个妇人的丈夫，儿女也是信主的，没有人告诉他们是放荡不服约束的，就可以设立。

If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.

1:7 监督既是神的管家，必须无可指责，不任性，不暴躁，不因酒滋事，不打人，不贪无义之财，

For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;

1:8 乐意接待远人，好善，庄重，公平，圣洁，自持。

But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;

1:9 坚守所教真实的道理，就能将纯正的教训劝化人。又能把争辩的人驳倒了。

Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.

1:10 因为有许多人不服约束，说虚空话，欺哄人。那奉割礼的，更是这样。

For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:

1:11 这些人的口总要堵住。他们因贪不义之财，将不该教导的教导人，败坏人的全家。

Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.

1:12 有克里特人中的一个本地先知说，克里特人常说谎话，乃是恶兽，又馋又懒。

One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.

1:13 这个见证是真的。所以你要严严的责备他们，使他们在真道上纯全无疵。

This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

1:14 不听犹太人荒渺的言语，和离弃真道之人的诫命。

Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

1:15 在洁净的人，凡物都洁净。在污秽不信的人，什么都不洁净。连心地和天良，也都污秽了。

Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.

1:16 他们说是认识神行事却和他相背。本是可憎恶的，是悖逆的，在各样善事上是可废弃的。

They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:

That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.

2:3 又劝老年妇人，举止行动要恭敬，不说谗言，不给酒作奴仆，用善道教训人。

The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

2:4 好指教少年妇人，爱丈夫，爱儿女，

That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.

2:7 你自己凡事要显出善行的榜样，在教训上要正直，端庄，

In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,

2:8 言语纯全，无可指责，叫那反对的人，既无处可说我们的不是，便自觉羞愧。

Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.

2:9 劝仆人要顺服自己的主人，凡事讨他的喜欢。不可顶撞他。

Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;

2:10 不可私拿东西。要显为忠诚，以致凡事尊荣我们救主神的道。

Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

2:11 因为神救众人的恩典，已经显明出来，

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

2:12 教训我们除去不敬虔的心，和世俗的情欲，在今世自守，公义，敬虔度日。

Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

2:13 等候所盼望的福，并等候至大的神，和（或作无和字）我们救主耶稣基督的荣耀显现。

Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

2:14 他为我们舍了自己，要赎我们脱离一切罪恶，又洁净我们，特作自己的子民，热心为善。

Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

2:15 这些事你要讲明，劝戒人，用各等权柄责备人。不可叫人轻看你。

These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

3:2 不要毁谤，不要争竞，总要和平，向众人大显温柔。

To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

3:3 我们从前也是无知，悖逆，受迷惑，服事各样私欲和宴乐，常存恶毒（或作阴毒）嫉妒的心，是可恨的，又是彼此相恨。

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

3:4 但到了神我们救主的恩慈，和他向人所施的慈爱显明的时候，

But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,

3:5 他便救了我们，并不是因我们自己所行的义，乃是照他的怜悯，藉着重生的洗，和圣灵的更新。

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

3:6 圣灵就是神藉着耶稣基督我们救主，厚厚浇灌在我们身上的。

Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

3:7 好叫我们因他的恩得称为义，可以凭着永生的盼望成为后嗣。（或作可以凭着盼望承受永生）。

That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

3:8 这话是可信的，我也愿你把这些事，切切实实的讲明，使那些已信神的人，留心作正经事业。（或作留心行善）这都是美事，并且与人有益。

This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

3:9 要远避无知的辩论，和家谱的空谈，以及分争，并因律法而起的争竞。因为这都是虚妄无益的。

But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

3:10 分门结党的人，警戒过一两次，就要弃绝他。

A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
