提摩太前書 4
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1聖靈明說，在後來的時候，必有人離棄真道，聽從那引誘人的 邪 靈和鬼魔的道理。
1Now the Spirit manifestly saith, that in the last times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to spirits of error, and doctrines of devils,
2這是因為說謊之人的假冒；這等人的良心如同被熱鐵烙慣了一般。
2Speaking lies in hypocrisy, and having their conscience seared,
3他們禁止嫁娶，又禁戒食物，就是上帝所造、叫那信而明白真道的人感謝着領受的。
3Forbidding to marry, to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful, and by them that have known the truth.
4凡上帝所造的物都是好的，若感謝着領受，就沒有一樣可棄的，
4For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be rejected that is received with thanksgiving:
5都因上帝的道和人的祈求成為聖潔了。
5For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
6你若將這些事提醒弟兄們，便是基督耶穌的好執事，在真道的話語和你向來所服從的善道上得了教育。
6These things proposing to the brethren, thou shalt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished up in the words of faith, and of the good doctrine which thou hast attained unto.
7只是要棄絕那世俗的言語和老婦荒渺的話，在敬虔上操練自己。
7But avoid foolish and old wives’ fables: and exercise thyself unto godliness.
8「操練身體，益處還少；惟獨敬虔，凡事都有益處，因有今生和來生的應許。」
8For bodily exercise is profitable to little: but godliness is profitable to all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
9這話是可信的，是十分可佩服的。
9A faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
10我們勞苦努力，正是為此，因我們的指望在乎永生的上帝；他是萬人的救主，更是信徒的救主。
10For therefore we labor and are reviled, because we hope in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of the faithful.
11這些事，你要吩咐人，也要教導人。
11These things command and teach.
12不可叫人小看你年輕，總要在言語、行為、愛心、信心、清潔上，都作信徒的榜樣。
12Let no man despise thy youth: but be thou an example of the faithful in word, in conversation, in charity, in faith, in chastity.
13你要以宣讀、勸勉、教導為念，直等到我來。
13Till I come, attend unto reading, to exhortation, and to doctrine.
14你不要輕忽所得的恩賜，就是從前藉着預言、在眾長老按手的時候賜給你的。
14Neglect not the grace that is in thee, which was given thee by prophesy, with imposition of the hands of the priesthood.
15這些事你要殷勤去做，並要在此專心，使眾人看出你的長進來。
15Meditate upon these things, be wholly in these things: that thy profiting may be manifest to all.
16你要謹慎自己和自己的教訓，要在這些事上恆心；因為這樣行，又能救自己，又能救聽你的人。
16Take heed to thyself and to doctrine: be earnest in them. For in doing this thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee.
