提多书 1
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
为提多祝福
1 神的仆人、耶稣基督的使徒保罗——凭着神选民的信心与敬虔真理的知识, 2 盼望那无谎言的神在万古之先所应许的永生, 3 到了日期,借着传扬的功夫把他的道显明了;这传扬的责任是按着神我们救主的命令交托了我—— 4 现在写信给提多,就是照着我们共信之道做我真儿子的。愿恩惠、平安从父神和我们的救主基督耶稣归于你!
论监督当如何为人
5 我从前留你在克里特,是要你将那没有办完的事都办整齐了,又照我所吩咐你的,在各城设立长老。 6 若有无可指责的人,只做一个妇人的丈夫,儿女也是信主的,没有人告他们是放荡不服约束的,就可以设立。 7 监督既是神的管家,必须无可指责,不任性,不暴躁,不因酒滋事,不打人,不贪无义之财; 8 乐意接待远人,好善,庄重,公平,圣洁自持; 9 坚守所教真实的道理,就能将纯正的教训劝化人,又能把争辩的人驳倒了。
当斥责传异教者
10 因为有许多人不服约束,说虚空话欺哄人,那奉割礼的更是这样。 11 这些人的口总要堵住。他们因贪不义之财,将不该教导的教导人,败坏人的全家。 12 有克里特人中的一个本地先知说:“克里特人常说谎话,乃是恶兽,又馋又懒。” 13 这个见证是真的。所以,你要严严地责备他们,使他们在真道上纯全无疵, 14 不听犹太人荒渺的言语和离弃真道之人的诫命。
在洁净者凡物都洁净
15 在洁净的人,凡物都洁净;在污秽不信的人,什么都不洁净,连心地和天良也都污秽了。 16 他们说是认识神,行事却和他相背;本是可憎恶的,是悖逆的,在各样善事上是可废弃的。
Titus 1

Salutation
1 Paul, (A)a bond-servant of God and an (B)apostle of Jesus Christ, [a]for the faith of those (C)chosen of God and (D)the knowledge of the truth which is (E)according to godliness, 2 in (F)the hope of eternal life, which God, (G)who cannot lie, (H)promised [b](I)long ages ago, 3 but (J)at the proper time revealed His word in (K)the proclamation (L)with which I was entrusted (M)according to the commandment of (N)God our Savior;
4 To (O)Titus, (P)my true [c]son [d]in a (Q)common faith: (R)Grace and peace from God the Father and (S)Christ Jesus our Savior.
Qualifications of Elders
5 For this reason I left you in (T)Crete, that you would set in order what remains and (U)appoint (V)elders in every city as I directed you, 6 namely, (W)if any man is beyond reproach, the (X)husband of one wife, having children who believe, not accused of (Y)indecent behavior or (Z)rebellion. 7 For the [e](AA)overseer must be beyond reproach as (AB)God’s steward, not (AC)self-willed, not quick-tempered, not (AD)overindulging in wine, not [f]a bully, (AE)not greedy for money, 8 but (AF)hospitable, (AG)loving what is good, self-controlled, righteous, holy, disciplined, 9 (AH)holding firmly the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to [g]exhort in (AI)sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict it.
10 (AJ)For there are many (AK)rebellious people, (AL)empty talkers and deceivers, especially (AM)those of the circumcision, 11 who must be silenced because they are upsetting (AN)whole families, teaching (AO)things they should not teach (AP)for the sake of [h]dishonest gain. 12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “(AQ)Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” 13 This testimony is true. For this reason (AR)reprimand them (AS)severely so that they may be (AT)sound in the faith, 14 not paying attention to Jewish (AU)myths and (AV)commandments of men who (AW)turn away from the truth. 15 (AX)To the pure, all things are pure; but (AY)to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their (AZ)mind and their conscience are defiled. 16 (BA)They profess to know God, but by their deeds they (BB)deny Him, being (BC)detestable and (BD)disobedient and (BE)worthless (BF)for any good deed.
