提多书 1
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
问安
1 我[a]保罗做神的奴仆、耶稣基督的使徒，是为了神所拣选之人的信仰，以及那带来敬神的真理知识； 2 这是基于那永恒生命的盼望，而这盼望是那不撒谎的神在亘古以前所应许的。 3 神在所定的时候[b]，藉着传道把他的话显明了出来；我就是照着神我们救主的命令受了委托。
4 致共同信仰上的真儿子提多：
提多的服事
5 我曾把你留在克里特岛，为的是这样的缘故：要你处理那些还没有办完的事，并且照着我所吩咐你的，在各城委任长老。 6 如果有人是无可指责的；只[e]做一个妇人的丈夫；儿女是信徒，没有被控告为放荡或不服从，你就可以委任[f]。 7 因为，身为神的管家，做监督的必须无可指责、不任性、不暴躁、不酗酒、不好斗、不贪图不正当的利益； 8 反而乐意款待客旅、喜爱良善、清醒自制、公正、圣洁、节制， 9 坚守那合乎教导的信实话语；这是为了要他不但能用健全的教义劝勉人，而且能使那些反对的人知罪。
10 因为实在有许多不服从的、讲虚妄话的、欺骗人的，尤其是那些属于割礼派的人[g]； 11 必须堵住这些人的口。他们为了不正当的利益，教导不该教导的事，把许多人的整个家庭都破坏了。 12 克里特人中有一位，是他们自己的先知，曾经说过：“克里特人总是说谎的，是恶兽，好吃懒做。” 13 这见证是真实的。因这理由，你要严厉地责备他们，好使他们在信仰上健全， 14 不去听从犹太人编造的故事，以及背弃真理之人的命令。
15 对洁净的人，一切都是洁净的；对污秽和不信的人，没有一样是洁净的，就是他们的理性和良心也都被污秽了。 16 他们声称认识神，却在行为上否认他。他们是可憎恶的、悖逆的，在任何美善的工作上都经不起考验。

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。
Titus 1
1599 Geneva Bible
The Epistle of Paul to Titus
1 6 He showeth what kind of men ought to be chosen Ministers: 10 how vain babblers’ mouths should be stopped: 12 and through this occasion he toucheth the nature of the Cretans, 14 and the Jews, who put boldness in outward things.
1 Paul [a]a [b]servant of God, and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s [c]elect, [d]and the acknowledging of the truth, which is according unto godliness.
2 Unto the [e]hope of eternal life, which God that cannot lie, hath [f]promised before the (A)[g]world began:
3 [h]But hath made his word manifest in due time through the preaching, which is (B)committed unto me according to the commandment of God our [i]Savior:
4 [j]To Titus my natural son according to the common faith, [k]Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
5 [l]For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest continue to redress the things that remain, and shouldest ordain Elders in every city as I ap-pointed thee.
6 (C)If any be unreproveable, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, which are not slandered of riot, neither are [m]disobedient.
7 [n]For a Bishop must be unreproveable, as God’s [o]steward, not [p]froward, not angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre,
8 But harberous, one that loveth goodness, [q]wise, righteous, holy, temperate,
9 [r]Holding fast that faithful word according to doctrine, [s]that he also may be able to exhort with wholesome doctrine, and convince them that say against it.
10 [t]For there are many disobedient and vain talkers and deceivers of minds, chiefly they of the [u]Circumcision,
11 Whose mouths must be stopped, which subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
12 [v]One of themselves, even one of their own Prophets said, The Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
13 This witness is true: wherefore convince them [w]sharply, that they may be sound in the faith.
14 And not taking heed to (D)Jewish fables and commandments of men, that turn away from the truth.
15 [x]Unto the pure (E)are all things pure, but unto them that are defiled, and unbelieving, is nothing pure, but even their [y]minds and consciences are defiled.
16 They profess that they know God, but by works they deny him, and are abominable and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

- Titus 1:10 Of the Jews, or rather of those Jews, which went about to join Christ and the Law together.

- Titus 1:15 If our minds and conscience be unclean, what cleanness is there in us before regeneration?

问安
1 神的仆人、耶稣基督的使徒保罗（这是为着 神选民的信心，和那合乎敬虔真理的知识； 2 这都是根据永生的盼望，这永生就是没有谎言的 神在万世以前所应许的。 3 到了适当的时候， 神就借着福音的宣讲，把他的道显明出来。照着 神我们救主的命令，这宣讲的使命交托了我）， 4 写信给提多，就是那在共同的信仰上作我真儿子的。愿恩惠平安从父 神和我们的救主基督耶稣临到你。
提多在克里特的工作
5 我从前留你在克里特岛，是要你办好没有办完的事，并且照我所吩咐的，在各城设立长老。 6 如果有人无可指摘，只作一个妻子的丈夫，儿女都信主，也没有人控告他们放荡或不受约束，才可以作长老。 7 因为监督是 神的管家，所以必须无可指摘、不任性、不随便动怒、不好酒、不打人、不贪不义之财； 8 却要接待客旅、喜爱良善、自律、公正、圣洁、自制， 9 坚守那合乎教义、可靠的真道，好使他能够用纯正的道理劝勉人，并且能够折服反对的人。
10 因为有许多不受约束、好讲空话和欺骗人的，尤其是那些守割礼的人， 11 他们为了可耻的利益，教训一些不应该教导的事，败坏人的全家，你务要堵住他们的嘴。 12 有一个克里特本地的先知说过：“克里特人是常常说谎的，是恶兽，好吃懒作。” 13 这见证是真的。为了这缘故，你要严厉地责备他们，好使他们在信仰上健全， 14 不再理会犹太人的无稽之谈和偏离正道的人的规条。 15 在清洁的人，一切都是清洁的；但在污秽和不信的人，没有一样是清洁的，连他们的意念和良心都污秽了。 16 他们声称认识 神，却在行为上否认他。他们是可憎的、悖逆的，在各样的善事上，是毫无用处的。
