第二章

要传讲纯正的道理
1 至于你，你应当讲合乎纯正的道理。
2 劝老年人要有节制、庄重、自律，在信心、爱心、忍耐上都要健全。
3 照样，劝年老的妇女要生活敬虔，不说谗言，不被酒奴役，用善道教导人，
4 好提醒年轻的妇女爱丈夫爱儿女，
5 并且自律、贞洁、理家、善良、顺从自己的丈夫，免得　神的道受毁谤。
6 照样，劝年轻的男子要自律。
7 无论在什么事上你都要显出好行为的榜样，在教导上要纯全，要庄重，
8 言词要纯正，无可指摘，使反对的人因为无从毁谤，就自觉惭愧。
9 劝仆人要凡事顺服自己的主人，讨他欢喜，不要顶嘴。
10 不要私取财物，却要显示绝对的诚实，好使我们救主　神的道理，在凡事上都得着尊荣。
11 　神拯救万人的恩典已经显明出来了。
12 这恩典训练我们除去不敬虔的心，和属世的私欲，在今生过着自律、公正、敬虔的生活，
13 等候那有福的盼望，就是我们伟大的　神，救主耶稣基督荣耀的显现。
14 他为我们舍己，为的是要救赎我们脱离一切不法的事，并且洁净我们作他自己的子民，热心善工。
15 你要传讲这些事，运用各样的权柄去劝戒人，责备人；不要让人轻看你。

NIV, Titus 2:1-15

1 You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine.
2 Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.
3 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good.
4 Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children,
5 to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.
6 Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled.
7 In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness
8 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.
9 Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, 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 attractive.
11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.
12 It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,
13 while we wait for the blessed hope--the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.
