提多书1:10~16
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。
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。
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。」
13这个见证是真的。所以,你要严严地责备他们,使他们在真道上纯全无疵,
14不听犹太人荒谬的言语和离弃真道之人的诫命。
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。
16他们说是认识 SHEN ,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。
10For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision group.
11They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of dishonest gain.
12One of Crete’s own prophets has said it: “Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.”
13This saying is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith
14and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the merely human commands of those who reject the truth.
15To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted.
16They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.
内容观察
1.保罗说,奉割礼的假教师有哪些不当的行为?(10—11节)
2.保罗要提多严厉责备克里特人的目的为何?(13~14节)
思考与默想
个人感受
决心与应用
5.谁是我当要在爱中用健全的教导劝勉的人?
6.为了借言行一致的信/仰,使其他肢体的信心健全,我今天决定要怎么做?
本地的先知(12节):是指希腊文化中代表 SHEN 明发出 SHEN 谕的人。保罗在此并非将这位“先知”视同旧约中的先知,而是要借此表达这位本地人所言不假。
克里特人常说谎话,是恶兽,贪吃懒做(12节):克里特在古代世界以道德堕落闻名。
责备(13节):与先前提到长老的角色和责任时用的“驳倒”(参多1:9)在希腊文是同一个词。
犹太人无稽的传说(14节):指在克里特信/徒中间一度盛行的犹太 SHEN 话及相关教导。
