提多书1:5~9
提多在克里特的工作
5我从前留你在克里特,是要你将那没有办完的事都办整齐了,又照我所吩咐你的,在各城设立长老。
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,没有人告他们是放荡不服约束的,就可以设立。
7监督既是 SHEN 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;
8乐意接待远人,好善,庄重,公平,圣洁自持;
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。
Appointing Elders Who Love What Is Good
5The reason I left you in Crete was that you might put in order what was left unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.
6An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.
7Since an overseer manages God’s household, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain.
8Rather, he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined.
9He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.
内容观察
1.保罗把提多留在克里特的理由是什么?(5节)
2.关于作长老的资格,保罗列举了哪些条件?(6节)
思考与默想
个人感受
决心与应用
5.在家庭、职场和 JH 中,我有哪些方面言行不一?
6.为了在日常生活中作信心的榜样和 SHEN 的管家,我要实践什么事情?
监督(7节):是“长老”的同义词。
乐意接待外人(8节):指乐意接待外地来的信/徒。在当时,远行是有高度风险的事情,并且旅店的住宿品质也不理想,所以开放自己的家庭接待外人的行为,被认为是爱的展现。
