< Titus 2 >

1 But say the things which fit sound doctrine,
但你所讲的总要合乎那纯正的道理。
2 that older men should be sober-minded, worthy of respect, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in patience:
劝老年人要有节制、端庄、自守,在信心、爱心、忍耐上都要纯全无疵。
3 and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
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,
4 that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
好指教少年妇人,爱丈夫,爱儿女,
5 to be sober minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God's word may not be blasphemed.
谨守,贞洁,料理家务,待人有恩,顺服自己的丈夫,免得 神的道理被毁谤。
6 Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded;
又劝少年人要谨守。
7 in all things showing yourself an example of good works. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness,
你自己凡事要显出善行的榜样;在教训上要正直、端庄,
8 and a sound message that cannot be condemned; that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.
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。
9 Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing in all things; not contradicting;
劝仆人要顺服自己的主人,凡事讨他的喜欢,不可顶撞他,
10 not stealing, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.
不可私拿东西,要显为忠诚,以致凡事尊荣我们救主— 神的道。
11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people,
因为 神救众人的恩典已经显明出来,
12 instructing us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly desires, and to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age; (aiōn g165)
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, (aiōn g165)
13 looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Yeshua Meshikha;
等候所盼望的福,并等候至大的 神和我们救主耶稣基督的荣耀显现。
14 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.
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。
15 Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.
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。
