提多书 2
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
健全的教训
2 至于你,你所讲的要与健全的教义相宜: 2 年长的男人要节制、庄重、自律,在信仰、爱心和忍耐上要健全; 3 同样,年长的妇女在举止行为上要合乎圣洁、不恶意控告、不成为酒的奴隶,要教导美好的事; 4 这样,她们可以训导年轻的妇女爱丈夫、爱儿女、 5 自律、贞洁、善理家务、良善、服从自己的丈夫,免得神的话语[a]受到亵渎。
6 同样,你要鼓励年轻的男人清醒自制; 7 你自己要在一切事上做出美好工作的榜样;教导的时候要正直[b]、庄重[c], 8 要用无可指责的健全话语,使反对的人在我们[d]的事上因没有坏话可说,就感到羞愧。
9 奴仆要在一切事上服从自己的主人、讨主人喜悦,不可顶嘴、 10 不可私拿东西,反要显出所有美好的忠信,好在一切事上为神我们救主的教导增添光彩。
11 事实上,神拯救万民的恩典已经显明出来了。 12 这恩典管教我们,使我们拒绝不敬神的事和地上的欲望,在今世能过自制、公义、敬神的生活, 13 期待那蒙福的盼望,以及我们那伟大的神、救主耶稣基督[e]荣耀的显现。 14 他为我们献上自己,是为了救赎我们脱离一切罪恶[f],并且洁净我们做他自己特选的子民,做美好工作的热心人。
15 你要讲说这些,充分地使用权威来劝勉、责备;不要让任何人轻看你。

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
教導純正的教義
2 你的教導要符合純正的教義。 2 勸年長的男子要節制、莊重、自律,有全備的信心、愛心和耐心。 3 勸年長的婦女要過敬虔的生活,不說長道短,不做酒的奴隸,要以身作則。 4 這樣,她們就能教導年輕的婦女愛丈夫、愛兒女、 5 自制、貞潔,持家、和善、順服丈夫,免得上帝的道被人毀謗。
6 勸勉年輕的男子要自制。 7 你自己要在各樣的善行上作眾人的榜樣,在教導上要誠懇、認真、 8 言語純全、無可指責,讓那些反對的人無話可說、自覺羞愧。
9 勸勉作奴僕的要凡事順服主人,讓主人滿意,不頂撞主人, 10 不偷拿主人的東西,為人要忠信可靠,好凡事尊崇我們救主上帝的教導。
11 因為上帝拯救世人的恩典已經顯明了, 12 這恩典教導我們除掉不敬虔的心和世俗的私慾,在今世過自律、公義、敬畏上帝的生活, 13 懷著美好的盼望等候耶穌基督——我們偉大的上帝和救主的榮耀顯現。 14 主耶穌為我們犧牲自己,要救贖我們脫離一切罪惡,並潔淨我們,使我們作祂的子民,成為熱心行善的人。
15 你要講明這些事,運用各樣權柄勸勉人、責備人,別讓人輕看你。
Titus 2
EasyEnglish Bible
Titus must teach all the believers properly
2 But as for you, Titus, you must teach people to do what is right. Teach them only the things that belong to God's true message. 2 Tell the older men to control themselves properly. They must think carefully about how they live, so that people respect them. They must continue to believe in Christ. They must continue to love other people. They must continue to be patient and strong.
3 Also, tell the older women to live in a good way. Their lives must show that they respect God. They must not say bad things about other people. They must not be drunks. They must teach what is good. 4 In this way, they can teach the young women how they should live. As a result, the young women will love their husbands and their children. 5 The young women will control themselves well and be pure in how they live. They will be good housewives who are kind to other people.[a] They will respect their husbands. If they live in a good way like that, nobody will be able to say bad things about God's message.
6 As for the young men, tell them also to control themselves wisely in how they live. 7 You yourself must always do good things too. In that way, you will show the young men how they should live. When you teach the believers, be honest and serious. 8 Teach a message that is correct, so that nobody can say anything against it. Then our enemies will be ashamed, because they cannot say anything bad about us.
9 As for slaves, tell them to obey their masters always. They must not argue with their masters. Instead, they should work well to please their masters. 10 Slaves must not take things that belong to their masters. Their masters must be able to trust them completely. Then people will respect the message that we teach about God, our Saviour.
God gives believers a new life
11 God has shown us clearly how very kind he is. He has come to save all people. 12 Because God is kind, he teaches us to stop living in a bad way. We no longer do the bad things that do not make God happy. We turn away from the bad things that belong to this world. God teaches us to control ourselves wisely while we live in this world. He teaches us to do what is right. He teaches us to please him in the way that we live.
13 Remember this: We are waiting for Jesus Christ to return to this world. When he comes, that will make us very happy. Everyone will see how great Jesus Christ is. He is our great God. He is the one who saves us from our sins. 14 He gave himself as a sacrifice on our behalf. He did that to make us free from every kind of bad thing. As a result, we can be completely good and clean inside ourselves. We can become his own special people, who want to do good things.
15 You must teach these things to the believers. Help them to live in a good way. Warn them when they do wrong things. Use all the authority that you have as a leader in the church. Make sure that everyone respects you properly.

Titus 2
New International Version
Doing Good for the Sake of the Gospel
2 You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine.(A) 2 Teach the older men(B) to be temperate,(C) worthy of respect, self-controlled,(D) and sound in faith,(E) in love and in endurance.
3 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers(F) or addicted to much wine,(G) but to teach what is good. 4 Then they can urge the younger women(H) to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled(I) and pure, to be busy at home,(J) to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands,(K) so that no one will malign the word of God.(L)
6 Similarly, encourage the young men(M) to be self-controlled.(N) 7 In everything set them an example(O) by doing what is good.(P) In your teaching show integrity, seriousness 8 and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.(Q)
9 Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything,(R) to try to please them, not to talk back to them, 10 and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior(S) attractive.(T)
11 For the grace(U) of God has appeared(V) that offers salvation to all people.(W) 12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions,(X) and to live self-controlled,(Y) upright and godly lives(Z) in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing(AA) of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,(AB) 14 who gave himself for us(AC) to redeem us from all wickedness(AD) and to purify(AE) for himself a people that are his very own,(AF) eager to do what is good.(AG)
15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.
Titus 2
King James Version
2 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
9 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
