提多书 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
教导纯正的教义
2 你的教导要符合纯正的教义。 2 劝年长的男子要节制、庄重、自律，有全备的信心、爱心和耐心。 3 劝年长的妇女要过敬虔的生活，不说长道短，不做酒的奴隶，要以身作则。 4 这样，她们就能教导年轻的妇女爱丈夫、爱儿女、 5 自制、贞洁，持家、和善、顺服丈夫，免得上帝的道被人毁谤。
6 劝勉年轻的男子要自制。 7 你自己要在各样的善行上做众人的榜样，在教导上要诚恳、认真、 8 言语纯全、无可指责，让那些反对的人无话可说、自觉羞愧。
9 劝勉做奴仆的要凡事顺服主人，让主人满意，不顶撞主人， 10 不偷拿主人的东西，为人要忠信可靠，好凡事尊崇我们救主上帝的教导。
11 因为上帝拯救世人的恩典已经显明了， 12 这恩典教导我们除掉不敬虔的心和世俗的私欲，在今世过自律、公义、敬畏上帝的生活， 13 怀着美好的盼望等候耶稣基督——我们伟大的上帝和救主的荣耀显现。 14 主耶稣为我们牺牲自己，要救赎我们脱离一切罪恶，并洁净我们，使我们做祂的子民，成为热心行善的人。
15 你要讲明这些事，运用各样权柄劝勉人、责备人，别让人轻看你。
Titus 2
1599 Geneva Bible
2 2 He setteth out the duties of sundry persons and states, 6 and willeth him to instruct the Church in manners. 11 He draweth an argument from the end of our redemption, 12 which is, that we live godly and uprightly.
1 But [a]speak thou the things which become wholesome doctrine,
2 [b]That the elder men be watchful, grave, temperate, sound in the faith, in love, and in patience:
3 The elder women likewise, that they be in such behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not subject to much wine, but teachers of honest things.
4 That they may instruct the young women to be sober minded, that they love their husbands, that they love their children,
5 That they be temperate, chaste, [c]keeping at home, good and (A)subject unto their husbands, that the word of God be not evil spoken of.
6 Exhort young men likewise, that they be sober minded.
7 [d]In all things show thyself an example of good works with uncorrupt doctrine, with [e]gravity, integrity,
8 And with the wholesome word, which cannot be condemned, that he which withstandeth, may be ashamed, having nothing concerning you to speak evil of.
9 (B)[f]Let servants be subject to their masters, and please them in all [g]things, not answering again,
10 Neither pickers, but that they show all good faithfulness, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.
11 (C)[h]For that grace of God, that bringeth salvation unto all men, hath appeared,
12 And teacheth us, that we should deny ungodliness and [i]worldly lusts, and that we should live soberly and righteously, and godly in this present world,
13 [j]Looking for that blessed hope, and appearing of that glory of that mighty God, and of our Savior Jesus Christ.
14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purge us to be a [k]peculiar people unto himself, zealous of good works.
15 These things speak, and exhort, and convince with all [l]authority. See that no man despise thee.
