テトスへの手紙 3
Japanese Living Bible
神の恵みを忘れずに励む
3 神に立てられた指導者の権威に服従し、いつも従順で、良いことは何でも進んで行うよう、教会の人たちに教えなさい。
2 また、人の悪口を言ったり、けんかをしたりせず、やさしい態度で、すべての人に礼儀正しく接するように教えなさい。
3 以前の私たちも、分別の足りない不従順な者であり、人に迷わされ、さまざまな快楽や欲望のとりこになっていました。心は悪意とねたみの固まりで、憎んだり憎まれたりしながら生活していました。 4 しかし、救い主である神が、恵みと愛を示してくださる時がついに来たのです。 5 神は、私たちの罪のよごれを洗い落とし、心に聖霊を遣わして、新しい喜びで満たし、以前の悲惨な生活から救い出してくださいました。それは、私たちに救われる資格があったからではなく、ただ、神のあわれみによるのです。 6 神は、私たちの心にこの聖霊を豊かに注いでくださいました。これは、救い主イエス・キリストが成し遂げてくださった救いがあるからこそ実現したのです。 7 こうして神は、私たちを、ご自分の目にかなった正しい者と宣言してくださったのです。これは、神の恵み以外の何ものでもありません。私たちは今、永遠のいのちを受け継ぐことを認められ、実際にそれをいただく日を、心から待ち望んでいるのです。
8 これまで話してきたことは、すべて真実です。ですから、確信をもって、クリスチャンはいつも良い行いに励むべきだ、と教えなさい。そういう生き方は正しいだけでなく、すばらしい結果を生むことにもなるからです。
9 しかし、堂々巡りの議論にふけったり、あやしげな神学論争に巻き込まれたりしてはいけません。律法を守ることについての議論や論争も避けなさい。そんなものは何の益にもならず、むしろ害をまき散らします。 10 教会を分裂させる人がいたら、一度か二度きびしく警告し、それでも聞き入れなければ、かかわりを断ちなさい。 11 そのような人は心が曲がっていて、悪いとわかっていながら、罪を犯しているのです。
12 ところで、アルテマスかテキコを、そちらへ派遣しようと思っています。二人のどちらかが着きしだい、あなたは、ニコポリにいる私のもとに来てください。私は、そこで冬を過ごすことにしましたから。 13 アポロと律法学者ゼナスとが旅立てるように、あなたもできるだけ骨折って、必要な物が全部そろうよう、気を配ってやってください。 14 私たちはみな、助けが必要な人々を進んで援助する習慣をもっと身につけなければなりません。そうすれば、実を結ぶ生活を送れるでしょう。
15 こちらの人がみな、あなたによろしくと言っています。そちらのクリスチャンの友人たちに、よろしく伝えてください。神の祝福が、あなたがたと共にありますように。
パウロ
Titus 3
New King James Version
Graces of the Heirs of Grace
3 Remind them (A)to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, (B)to be ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. 3 For (C)we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. 4 But when (D)the kindness and the love of (E)God our Savior toward man appeared, 5 (F)not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through (G)the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 6 (H)whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 that having been justified by His grace (I)we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8 (J)This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
Avoid Dissension
9 But (K)avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless. 10 (L)Reject a divisive man after the first and second [a]admonition, 11 knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned.
Final Messages
12 When I send Artemas to you, or (M)Tychicus, be diligent to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there. 13 Send Zenas the lawyer and (N)Apollos on their journey with haste, that they may lack nothing. 14 And let our people also learn to maintain good works, to meet urgent needs, that they may not be unfruitful.
Farewell
15 All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in the faith.
Grace be with you all. Amen.

Titus 3
New International Version
Saved in Order to Do Good
3 Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities,(A) to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good,(B) 2 to slander no one,(C) to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone.
3 At one time(D) we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness(E) and love of God our Savior(F) appeared,(G) 5 he saved us,(H) not because of righteous things we had done,(I) but because of his mercy.(J) He saved us through the washing(K) of rebirth and renewal(L) by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us(M) generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace,(N) we might become heirs(O) having the hope(P) of eternal life.(Q) 8 This is a trustworthy saying.(R) And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good.(S) These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.
9 But avoid(T) foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels(U) about the law,(V) because these are unprofitable and useless.(W) 10 Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them.(X) 11 You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful; they are self-condemned.
Final Remarks
12 As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus(Y) to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to winter there.(Z) 13 Do everything you can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos(AA) on their way and see that they have everything they need. 14 Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good,(AB) in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives.
15 Everyone with me sends you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith.(AC)
Grace be with you all.(AD)
Titus 3
King James Version
3 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5 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;
6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8 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.
9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
12 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
13 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
14 And let our's also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
15 All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
