提多书-Titus 第 3 章

3:1你要提醒众人服从执政的、掌权的,顺从他们,预备行各样的善事。
Remind them to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready unto every good work,
3:2不要毁谤人,不要争竞,乃要谦让宜人,向众人显出十分的温柔。
To slander no one, to be uncontentious, gentle, showing all meekness toward all men.
3:3因为我们从前也是无知、悖逆、受迷惑的,给各样的私欲和宴乐作奴仆,将生命时光耗费于恶毒和嫉妒,是可恨的,又是彼此相恨。
For we also were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving as slaves various lusts and pleasures, spending our lives in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.
3:4然而,当我们救主神的恩慈,和祂对人的爱显现的时候,
But when the kindness and the love to man of our Savior God appeared,
3:5祂便救了我们,并不是本于我们所成就的义行,乃是照着祂的怜悯,藉着重生的洗涤,和圣灵的更新。
Not out of works in righteousness which we did but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Spirit,
3:6这圣灵就是神藉着耶稣基督我们的救主,丰丰富富浇灌在我们身上的,
Whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
3:7好叫我们既因祂的恩典得称义,就可以照着永远生命的盼望成为后嗣。
In order that having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
3:8这话是可信的,我也愿你把这些事确实坚信的讲明,使那些已信神的人留心作正经事业。这些都是美事,并且与人有益。
Faithful is the word, and concerning these things I desire you to confidently affirm, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to maintain respectable works. These things are good and profitable to men.
3:9但要远避愚拙的辩论、家谱、争竞、以及因律法而起的争论,因为这些都是无益虚妄的。
But avoid foolish questionings and genealogies and strifes and contentions about the law, for they are unprofitable and vain.
3:10分门结党的人,警戒过一两次,就要拒绝;
A factious man, after a first and second admonition, refuse,
3:11知道这等人已经深入歧途,虽定自己的罪,仍是犯罪。
Knowing that such a one is perverted and is sinning, though he is condemned by his own self.
3:12我打发亚提马或推基古到你那里去的时候,你要赶紧往尼哥波立去见我,因为我已经定意在那里过冬。
When I send Artemas to you or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.
3:13你要赶紧给律法师西纳和亚波罗送行,叫他们没有缺乏。
Zenas the lawyer and Apollos send forward diligently that nothing may be lacking to them.
3:14并且我们的人也要学习作正经事业,好应必需,免得不结果子。
And let those also who are ours learn to maintain respectable works for their necessary needs, that they may not be unfruitful.
3:15同我在一起的众人都问你安。请代问那些因信爱我们的人安。愿恩典与你们众人同在。
All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all.
