提多书 1
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
问候
1 我保罗做上帝的奴仆和耶稣基督的使徒，是为了使上帝拣选的人有信心、明白真理，从而过敬虔的生活， 2 有永生的盼望。这永生是从不说谎的上帝在亘古以前应许的。 3 祂在所定的时候，借着人的传扬将自己的道显明出来。我奉我们救主上帝的命令传扬这道。
4 提多啊，我写信给你，就我们共同的信仰来说，你是我真正的儿子。
愿父上帝和我们的救主基督耶稣赐给你恩典和平安！
长老的资格
5 当初，我把你留在克里特岛，是要你完成未办完的事工，并照我的指示在各城选立长老。 6 做长老的必须无可指责，只有一位妻子，儿女都信主、没有放荡不羁的行为。 7 身为上帝的管家，做监督的必须无可指责，不傲慢，不暴躁，不酗酒，不好斗，不贪财。 8 他必须好客、乐善、自制、正直、圣洁、自律， 9 持守所领受的真道，以便能够以纯正的教导劝勉人，驳倒那些反对的人。
10 因为有许多悖逆之人喜欢空谈，善于欺骗，尤其是那些奉行割礼的人。 11 你一定要堵住他们的口，因为他们为了不义之财教不该教的，误导了别人全家。 12 克里特人自己的一位先知说：“克里特人说谎成性，邪恶如兽，好吃懒做。” 13 这话是真的。因此你要严正地斥责他们，使他们有纯正的信仰， 14 不理会犹太人荒诞的传说和那些违背真理之人的诫律。 15 对洁净的人而言，一切都是洁净的；对污秽不信的人而言，什么都不洁净，连他们的思想和良心都是污秽的。 16 他们自称认识上帝，在行为上却否认祂。他们令人可憎，悖逆成性，一无是处。

問候
1 神的僕人、耶穌基督的使徒保羅，為了使 神的選民信從與認識合乎敬虔的真理— 2 這真理是在盼望那無謊言的 神在萬古之先所應許的永生， 3 到了適當的時機，藉着傳揚福音，把他的道顯明了；這傳揚的責任是按着我們的救主 神的命令交託給我的— 4 我寫信給在共同的信仰上作我真兒子的提多。願恩惠、平安[a]從父 神和我們的救主基督耶穌歸給你！
提多在克里特的工作
5 我從前把你留在克里特，是要你將那沒有辦完的事都辦妥，又照我所吩咐你的，在各城設立長老。 6 若有無可指責的人，只作一個婦人的丈夫，兒女也是信主的，沒有人告他們放蕩，不受約束，就可以設立。 7 監督既然是 神的管家，必須無可指責、不自負、不暴躁、不酗酒、不好鬥、不貪財； 8 卻要樂意接待外人、好善、克己、正直、聖潔、節制， 9 堅守合乎教義的可靠之道，就能將健全的教導勸勉人，又能駁倒爭辯的人。
10 因為也有許多人不受約束，說空話欺哄人，尤其是那些奉割禮的人。 11 這些人的口必須堵住，因為他們貪不義之財，將不該教導的事教導人，敗壞人的全家。 12 克里特人中有一個本地的先知說：「克里特人常說謊話，是惡獸，貪吃懶做。」 13 這個見證是真的。為這緣故，你要嚴厲地責備他們，使他們在信仰上健全。 14 不要聽猶太人無稽的傳說和背棄真理之人的命令。 15 在潔淨的人，凡物都潔淨；在污穢不信的人，甚麼都不潔淨，連心地和天良也都污穢了。 16 他們宣稱認識 神，卻在行為上否認他；他們是可憎惡的，是悖逆的，不配做任何好事。

Titus 1
King James Version
1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;
2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
3 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
4 To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:
6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, the Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Titus 1
New King James Version
Greeting
1 Paul, a bondservant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect and (A)the acknowledgment of the truth (B)which accords with godliness, 2 in hope of eternal life which God, who (C)cannot lie, promised before time began, 3 but has in due time manifested His word through preaching, which was committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior;
4 To (D)Titus, a true son in our common faith:
Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and [a]the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
Qualified Elders
5 For this reason I left you in Crete, that you should (E)set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you— 6 if a man is blameless, the husband of one wife, (F)having faithful children not accused of [b]dissipation or insubordination. 7 For a [c]bishop must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, (G)not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, 8 but hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled, 9 holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict.
The Elders’ Task
10 For there are many insubordinate, both idle (H)talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, 11 whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole households, teaching things which they ought not, (I)for the sake of dishonest gain. 12 (J)One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” 13 This testimony is true. (K)Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, 14 not giving heed to Jewish fables and (L)commandments of men who turn from the truth. 15 (M)To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. 16 They profess to (N)know God, but (O)in works they deny Him, being [d]abominable, disobedient, (P)and disqualified for every good work.
