提多書 3
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1你要提醒眾人，叫他們順服作官的、掌權的，遵他的命，預備行各樣的善事。
1Remind the believers to submit to rulers and authorities, to be obedient and ready for every good work,
2不要毀謗，不要爭競，總要和平，向眾人大顯溫柔。
2to malign no one, and to be peaceable and gentle, showing full consideration to everyone.
3我們從前也是無知、悖逆、受迷惑、服事各樣私慾，和宴樂，常存惡毒嫉妒的心，是可恨的，又是彼此相恨。
3For at one time we too were foolish, disobedient, misled, and enslaved to all sorts of desires and pleasures—living in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.
4但到了上帝－我們救主的恩慈和他向人所施的慈愛顯明的時候，
4But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared,
5他便救了我們；並不是因我們自己所行的義，乃是照他的憐憫，藉着重生的洗和聖靈的更新。
5He saved us, not by the righteous deeds we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of new birth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
6聖靈就是上帝藉着耶穌基督－我們救主厚厚澆灌在我們身上的，
6This is the Spirit He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
7好叫我們因他的恩得稱為義，可以憑着永生的盼望成為後嗣。
7so that, having been justified by His grace, we would become heirs with the hope of eternal life.
8這話是可信的。 我也願你把這些事切切實實地講明，使那些已信上帝的人留心做正經事業。這都是美事，並且與人有益。
8This saying is trustworthy. And I want you to emphasize these things, so that those who have believed God will take care to devote themselves to good deeds. These things are excellent and profitable for the people.
9要遠避無知的辯論和家譜 的空談 ，以及紛爭，並因律法而起的爭競，因為這都是虛妄無益的。
9But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, arguments, and quarrels about the law, because these things are pointless and worthless.
10分門結黨的人，警戒過一兩次，就要棄絕他。
10Reject a divisive man after a first and second admonition,
11因為知道這等人已經背道，犯了罪，自己明知不是，還是去做。
11knowing that such a man is corrupt and sinful; he is self-condemned.
12我打發 亞提馬 或是 推基古 到你那裏去的時候，你要趕緊往 尼哥坡里 去見我，因為我已經定意在那裏過冬。
12As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, make every effort to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to winter there.
13你要趕緊給律師 西納 和 亞波羅 送行，叫他們沒有缺乏。
13Do your best to equip Zenas the lawyer and Apollos, so that they will have everything they need.
14並且我們的人要學習正經事業，預備所需用的，免得不結果子。
14And our people must also learn to devote themselves to good works in order to meet the pressing needs of others, so that they will not be unfruitful.
15同我在一處的人都問你安。請代問那些因有信心愛我們的人安。願恩惠 常 與你們眾人同在！
15All who are with me send you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with all of you.
