Titus 2

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

1 但你所講的總要合乎那純正的道理。

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

2 勸老年人要有節制、端莊、自守，在信心、愛心、忍耐上都要純全無疵。

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

3 又勸老年婦人，舉止行動要恭敬，不說讒言，不給酒作奴僕，用善道教訓人，

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

4 好指教少年婦人，愛丈夫，愛兒女，

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 謹守，貞潔，料理家務，待人有恩，順服自己的丈夫，免得上帝的道理被毀謗。

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

6 又勸少年人要謹守。

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

7 你自己凡事要顯出善行的榜樣；在教訓上要正直、端莊，

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 言語純全，無可指責，叫那反對的人，既無處可說我們的不是，便自覺羞愧。

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

9 勸僕人要順服自己的主人，凡事討他的喜歡，不可頂撞他，

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 不可私拿東西，要顯為忠誠，以致凡事尊榮我們救主－上帝的道。

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

11 因為上帝救眾人的恩典已經顯明出來，

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

12 教訓我們除去不敬虔的心和世俗的情慾，在今世自守、公義、敬虔度日，

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

13 等候所盼望的福，並等候至大的上帝和我們 救主耶穌基督的榮耀顯現。

14 He gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.

14 他為我們捨了自己，要贖我們脫離一切罪惡，又潔淨我們，特作自己的子民，熱心為善。

15 Speak these things as you encourage and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.

15 這些事你要講明，勸戒人，用各等權柄責備人；不可叫人輕看你。
