当如何规劝老幼男女和仆人

但你所讲的,总要合乎那纯正的道理。 劝老年人要有节制,端庄,自守,在信心、爱心、忍耐上都要纯全无疵。 又劝老年妇人举止行动要恭敬,不说谗言,不给酒做奴仆,用善道教训人, 好指教少年妇人爱丈夫,爱儿女, 谨守,贞洁,料理家务,待人有恩,顺服自己的丈夫,免得神的道理被毁谤。 又劝少年人要谨守。 你自己凡事要显出善行的榜样,在教训上要正直、端庄、 言语纯全、无可指责,叫那反对的人既无处可说我们的不是,便自觉羞愧。 劝仆人要顺服自己的主人,凡事讨他的喜欢,不可顶撞他, 10 不可私拿东西,要显为忠诚,以致凡事尊荣我们救主神的道。 11 因为神救众人的恩典已经显明出来, 12 教训我们除去不敬虔的心和世俗的情欲,在今世自守、公义、敬虔度日, 13 等候所盼望的福,并等候至大的神和[a]我们救主耶稣基督的荣耀显现。

救主舍己的缘故

14 他为我们舍了自己,要赎我们脱离一切罪恶,又洁净我们,特做自己的子民,热心为善。

15 这些事你要讲明,劝诫人,用各等权柄责备人,不可叫人轻看你。

Le travail pastoral d’un vrai ministre de l’Evangile

Pour toi, dis les choses qui sont conformes à la saine doctrine. Dis que les vieillards doivent être sobres, honnêtes, modérés, sains dans la foi, dans l’amour, dans la patience. Dis que les femmes âgées doivent aussi avoir l’extérieur qui convient à la sainteté, n’être ni médisantes, ni adonnées aux excès du vin; qu’elles doivent donner de bonnes instructions, dans le but d’apprendre aux jeunes femmes à aimer leur mari et leurs enfants, à être retenues, chastes, occupées aux soins domestiques, bonnes, soumises à leur mari, afin que la parole de Dieu ne soit pas calomniée.

Exhorte de même les jeunes gens à être modérés, te montrant toi-même à tous égards un modèle de bonnes œuvres, et donnant un enseignement pur, digne, une parole saine, irréprochable, afin que l’adversaire soit confus, n’ayant aucun mal à dire de nous.

Exhorte les serviteurs à être soumis à leurs maîtres, à leur plaire en toutes choses, à n’être point contredisants, 10 à ne rien dérober, mais à montrer toujours une parfaite fidélité, afin de faire honorer en tout la doctrine de Dieu notre Sauveur.

Manifestation de la grâce de Dieu

11 Car la grâce de Dieu, source de salut pour tous les hommes, a été manifestée. 12 Elle nous enseigne à renoncer à l’impiété et aux convoitises mondaines, et à vivre dans le siècle présent selon la sagesse, la justice et la piété, 13 en attendant la bienheureuse espérance, et la manifestation de la gloire de notre grand Dieu et Sauveur[a] Jésus-Christ. 14 Il s’est donné lui-même pour nous, afin de nous racheter de toute iniquité[b], et de se faire un peuple qui lui appartienne, purifié par lui et zélé pour les bonnes œuvres.

15 Dis ces choses, exhorte, et reprends, avec une pleine autorité. Que personne ne te méprise.

Doing Good for the Sake of the Gospel

You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine.(A) 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.

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. Then they can urge the younger women(H) to love their husbands and children, 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)

Similarly, encourage the young men(M) to be self-controlled.(N) In everything set them an example(O) by doing what is good.(P) In your teaching show integrity, seriousness 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)

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.

But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:

That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.

The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.

In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,

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.

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.
