新約 -- 提多書(Titus) -- 第3章
3:1 你要題醒眾人,叫他們順服作官的,掌權的,遵他的命,豫備行各樣的善事。
Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
3:2 不要毀謗,不要爭競,總要和平,向眾人大顯溫柔。
To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
3:3 我們從前也是無知,悖逆,受迷惑,服事各樣私欲和宴樂,常存惡毒(或作陰毒)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 但到了神我們救主的恩慈,和他向人所施的慈愛顯明的時候,But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
3:5 他便救了我們,并不是因我們自己所行的義,乃是照他的憐憫,藉著重生的洗,和圣靈的更新。
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 圣靈就是神藉著耶穌基督我們救主,厚厚澆灌在我們身上的。
Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
3:7 好叫我們因他的恩得稱為義,可以憑著永生的盼望成為后嗣。(或作可以憑著盼望承受永生)。
That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
3:8 這話是可信的,我也愿你把這些事,切切實實的講明,使那些已信神的人,留心作正經事業。(或作留心行善)這都是美事,并且與人有益。
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 要遠避無知的辯論,和家譜的空談,以及分爭,并因律法而起的爭競。因為這都是虛妄無益的。
But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
3:10 分門結黨的人,警戒過一兩次,就要棄絕他。
A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
3:11 因為知道這等人已經背道,犯了罪,自己明知不是,還是去作。
Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
3:12 我打發亞提馬,或是推基古,到你那里去的時候,你要趕緊往尼哥波立去見我。因為我已經定意在那里過冬。
When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
3:13 你要趕緊給律師西納,和亞波羅送行,叫他們沒有缺乏。
Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
3:14 并且我們的人要學習升經事業,(或作要學習行善)豫備所需用的,免得不結果子。
And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
3:15 同我在一處的人都問你安。請代問那些因有信心愛我們的人安。愿恩惠常與你們眾人同在。
All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
