提多书 3
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
做善工的重要性
3 你提醒他们要服从统治者和掌权者,要顺从,并要为一切美善的工作做好准备; 2 不要毁谤人、不要争吵;要谦和,在一切事上对所有的人都要显出温柔。 3 其实,我们从前也是无知、悖逆、被迷惑的,做各种欲望和享乐的奴仆,活在恶毒和嫉妒中,是可憎恶的,又彼此相恨。
4 但是,当神我们救主的仁慈和他对人的爱显明的时候,
5 他拯救了我们;
这不是本于我们所做的义行,
而是照着他的怜悯,
藉着重生的洗涤和圣灵的更新。
6 神藉着我们的救主耶稣基督,
将圣灵丰丰富富地倾注在我们身上,
7 使我们藉着他的恩典被称为义,
可以照着永恒生命的盼望成为继承人。
8 这话是信实的。我希望你强调这些事,好让那些信了神的人专心投入美好的工作;这些事对人是好事,是有益处的。 9 至于愚拙的辩论、家谱、纷争和律法上的争执,你都要避免;因为这些都是无用的,是虚妄的。 10 对那制造分裂的人,在第一次、第二次的警戒以后,就要弃绝他, 11 因为你知道,这样的人已经背道,一直犯罪,定了自己的罪。
结尾的教导
12 我派阿特马斯或特其库斯到你那里以后,你要尽快到尼科波利斯来见我,因为我已经决定在那里过冬。 13 你要尽快送齐纳斯律师和阿波罗上路,好让他们一无所缺。
14 我们自己的人,为了紧要的需用也应该学会投入美好的工作,免得成为不结果子的人。 15 所有与我在一起的人都问候你。请问候那些在信仰上爱我们的人。愿恩典与你们大家同在![a]

Tito 3
Dios Habla Hoy
Deberes de todos los creyentes
3 Recuerda a los otros que se sometan al gobierno y a las autoridades, que sean obedientes y que siempre estén dispuestos a hacer lo bueno. 2 Que no hablen mal de nadie, que sean pacíficos y bondadosos, y que se muestren humildes de corazón en su trato con todos.
3 Porque antes también nosotros éramos insensatos y rebeldes; andábamos perdidos y éramos esclavos de toda clase de deseos y placeres. Vivíamos en maldad y envidia, odiados y odiándonos unos a otros. 4 Pero Dios nuestro Salvador mostró su bondad y su amor por la humanidad, 5 y, sin que nosotros hubiéramos hecho nada bueno, por pura misericordia nos salvó lavándonos y regenerándonos, y dándonos nueva vida por el Espíritu Santo. 6 Pues por medio de Jesucristo nuestro Salvador nos dio en abundancia el Espíritu Santo, 7 para que, después de hacernos justos por su bondad, tengamos la esperanza de recibir en herencia la vida eterna.
8 Esto es muy cierto, y quiero que insistas mucho en ello, para que los que creen en Dios se ocupen en hacer el bien. Estas cosas son buenas y útiles para todos. 9 Pero evita las discusiones tontas, las leyendas acerca de los antepasados, las discordias y las peleas por cuestiones de la ley de Moisés. Son cosas inútiles y sin sentido.
10 Si alguien causa divisiones en la iglesia, llámale la atención una y dos veces; pero si no te hace caso, expúlsalo de ella, 11 pues debes saber que esa persona se ha pervertido y que su mismo pecado la está condenando.
Recomendaciones personales
12 Cuando yo te mande a Artemas o a Tíquico, haz lo posible por ir a Nicópolis a verme, porque he decidido pasar allí el invierno. 13 Ayuda en todo lo que puedas al abogado Zenas y a Apolo, dándoles lo necesario para que sigan su viaje y no les falte nada. 14 Y que los nuestros aprendan también a hacer el bien y a ayudar en casos de necesidad, para que sus vidas sean útiles.
15 Todos los que están conmigo te mandan saludos. Saluda a nuestros queridos amigos en la fe. Que Dios derrame su gracia sobre todos ustedes.
Titus 3
King James Version
3 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
12 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
13 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
14 And let our's also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
15 All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
Titus 3
New King James Version
Graces of the Heirs of Grace
3 Remind them (A)to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, (B)to be ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. 3 For (C)we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. 4 But when (D)the kindness and the love of (E)God our Savior toward man appeared, 5 (F)not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through (G)the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 6 (H)whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 that having been justified by His grace (I)we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8 (J)This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
Avoid Dissension
9 But (K)avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless. 10 (L)Reject a divisive man after the first and second [a]admonition, 11 knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned.
Final Messages
12 When I send Artemas to you, or (M)Tychicus, be diligent to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there. 13 Send Zenas the lawyer and (N)Apollos on their journey with haste, that they may lack nothing. 14 And let our people also learn to maintain good works, to meet urgent needs, that they may not be unfruitful.
Farewell
15 All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in the faith.
Grace be with you all. Amen.
