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。

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。

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
問候
1 我保羅作上帝的奴僕和耶穌基督的使徒，是為了使上帝揀選的人有信心、明白真理，從而過敬虔的生活， 2 有永生的盼望。這永生是從不說謊的上帝在亙古以前應許的。 3 祂在所定的時候，藉著人的傳揚將自己的道顯明出來。我奉我們救主上帝的命令傳揚這道。
4 提多啊，我寫信給你，就我們共同的信仰來說，你是我真正的兒子。
願父上帝和我們的救主基督耶穌賜給你恩典和平安！
長老的資格
5 當初，我把你留在克里特島，是要你完成未辦完的事工，並照我的指示在各城選立長老。 6 作長老的必須無可指責，只有一位妻子，兒女都信主、沒有放蕩不羈的行為。 7 身為上帝的管家，作監督的必須無可指責，不傲慢，不暴躁，不酗酒，不好鬥，不貪財。 8 他必須好客、樂善、自制、正直、聖潔、自律， 9 持守所領受的真道，以便能夠以純正的教導勸勉人，駁倒那些反對的人。
10 因為有許多悖逆之人喜歡空談，善於欺騙，尤其是那些奉行割禮的人。 11 你一定要堵住他們的口，因為他們為了不義之財教不該教的，誤導了別人全家。 12 克里特人自己的一位先知說：「克里特人說謊成性，邪惡如獸，好吃懶做。」 13 這話是真的。因此你要嚴正地斥責他們，使他們有純正的信仰， 14 不理會猶太人荒誕的傳說和那些違背真理之人的誡律。 15 對潔淨的人而言，一切都是潔淨的；對污穢不信的人而言，什麼都不潔淨，連他們的思想和良心都是污穢的。 16 他們自稱認識上帝，在行為上卻否認祂。他們令人可憎，悖逆成性，一無是處。
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.
