10 因 為 有 許 多 人 不 服 約 束 ， 說 虛 空 話 欺 哄 人 ； 那 奉 割 禮 的 更 是 這 樣 。

提多書 1:10 Meaning and Commentary

Titus 1:10

For there are many unruly
Persons who are not subject to the law of God, or Gospel of Christ; whose spirits are not subject to the prophets; and who will not submit themselves to them that have the rule over them, nor attend to the admonitions of the church, nor be brought into any regularity and order; and there were many of this sort, who were not sent forth by Christ, or his churches, but went forth of themselves, and were corrupters of the word; and therefore Christ's ministers ought to hold fast the faithful word, and convince such opposers by sound doctrine;

and vain talkers;
who deliver out in their discourses empty, trifling, superficial, and frivolous things; which have no solidity and substance in them, nor do they tend to edification; only great swelling words of vanity, vain jangling and babbling about things to no profit.

And deceivers;
both of themselves and others; who lie in wait to deceive, and are deceitful workers; and by their good words, and fair speeches, deceive the hearts of the simple; and so are dangerous persons, and of pernicious consequence:

especially they of the circumcision;
or "of the Jews", as the Ethiopic version renders it; that is, not the unbelieving Jews, but such as professed Christianity, judaizing Christians, who joined Moses and Christ and blended the law and Gospel together; who taught that circumcision, and the observance of other ceremonies of the law, were necessary to justification and salvation; and hereby did a great deal of mischief among the churches.

10 因 為 有 許 多 人 不 服 約 束 ， 說 虛 空 話 欺 哄 人 ； 那 奉 割 禮 的 更 是 這 樣 。

11 這 些 人 的 口 總 要 堵 住 。 他 們 因 貪 不 義 之 財 ， 將 不 該 教 導 的 教 導 人 ， 敗 壞 人 的 全 家 。
