Titus 2

1 But as for you, speak the things that are consistent with sound doctrine.

1 你的教导要符合纯正的教义。

2 Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, and sound in faith, love, and perseverance.

2 劝年长的男子要节制、庄重、自律，有全备的信心、爱心和耐心。

3 Older women, likewise, are to be reverent in their behavior, not slanderers or addicted to much wine, but teachers of good.

3 劝年长的妇女要过敬虔的生活，不说长道短，不做酒的奴隶，要以身作则。

4 In this way they can train the young women to love their husbands and children,

5 to be self-controlled, pure, managers of their households, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be discredited.

5 自制、贞洁、持家、和善、顺服丈夫，免得上帝的道被人毁谤。

6 In the same way, urge the younger men to be self-controlled.

7 In everything, show yourself to be an example by doing good works. In your teaching show integrity, dignity,

7 你自己要在各样善行上做众人的榜样，在教导上要诚恳、认真、

8 and wholesome speech that is above reproach, so that anyone who opposes us will be ashamed, having nothing bad to say about us.

8 言语纯全、无可指责，让那些反对的人无话可说、自觉羞愧。

9 Slaves are to submit to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not argumentative,

9 劝勉做奴仆的要凡事顺服主人，让主人满意，不顶撞主人，

10 not stealing from them, but showing all good faith, so that in every respect they will adorn the teaching about God our Savior.

10 不偷拿主人的东西，为人要忠信可靠，好凡事尊崇我们救主上帝的教导。

11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to everyone.

11 因为上帝拯救世人的恩典已经显明了，

12 It instructs us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives in the present age,

12 这恩典教导我们除掉不敬虔的心和世俗的私欲，在今世过自律、公义、敬畏上帝的生活，

13 as we await the blessed hope and glorious appearance of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.

13 怀着美好的盼望等候我们伟大的上帝和救主耶稣基督的荣耀显现。
