| 1:1 |
神的仆人，耶稣基督的使徒保罗，凭着神选民的信心，与敬虔真理的知识，
Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; |
|
| 1:2 |
盼望那无谎言的神在万古之先所应许的永生，
In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; |
|
| 1:3 |
到了日期，藉着传扬的工夫，把他的道显明了。这传扬的责任，是按着神我们救主的命令交托了我。
But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour; |
|
| 1:4 |
现在写信给提多，就是照着我们共信之道作我真儿子的。愿恩惠平安，从父神和我们的救主基督耶稣归与你。
To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. |
|
| 1:5 |
我从前留你在克里特，是要你将没有辨完的事都辨整齐了，又照我所吩咐你的，在各城设立长老。
For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: |
|
| 1:6 |
若有无可指责的人，只作一个妇人的丈夫，儿女也是信主的，没有人告诉他们是放荡不服约束的，就可以设立。
If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. |
|
| 1:7 |
监督既是神的管家，必须无可指责，不任性，不暴躁，不因酒滋事，不打人，不贪无义之财，
For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; |
|
| 1:8 |
乐意接待远人，好善，庄重，公平，圣洁，自持。
But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; |
|
| 1:9 |
坚守所教真实的道理，就能将纯正的教训劝化人。又能把争辩的人驳倒了。
Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. |
|
| 1:10 |
因为有许多人不服约束，说虚空话，欺哄人。那奉割礼的，更是这样。
For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: |
|
| 1:11 |
这些人的口总要堵住。他们因贪不义之财，将不该教导的教导人，败坏人的全家。
Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. |
|
| 1:12 |
有克里特人中的一个本地先知说，克里特人常说谎话，乃是恶兽，又馋又懒。
One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. |
|
| 1:13 |
这个见证是真的。所以你要严严的责备他们，使他们在真道上纯全无疵。
This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; |
|
| 1:14 |
不听犹太人荒渺的言语，和离弃真道之人的诫命。
Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. |
|
| 1:15 |
在洁净的人，凡物都洁净。在污秽不信的人，什么都不洁净。连心地和天良，也都污秽了。
Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. |
|
| 1:16 |
他们说是认识神行事却和他相背。本是可憎恶的，是悖逆的，在各样善事上是可废弃的。
They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. |
