提摩太前書 6
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1凡在軛下作僕人的，當以自己主人配受十分的恭敬，免得上帝的名和道理被人褻瀆。
1Whosoever are servants under the yoke, let them count their masters worthy of all honour; lest the name of the Lord and his doctrine be blasphemed.
2僕人有信道的主人，不可因為與他是弟兄就輕看他；更要加意服事他；因為得服事之益處的，是信道蒙愛的。 你要以此教訓人，勸勉人。
2But they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but serve them the rather, because they are faithful and beloved, who are partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
3若有人傳異教，不服從我們主耶穌基督純正的話與那合乎敬虔的道理，
3If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to that doctrine which is according to godliness,
4他是自高自大，一無所知，專好問難，爭辯言詞，從此就生出嫉妒、紛爭、毀謗、妄疑，
4He is proud, knowing nothing, but sick about questions and strifes of words; from which arise envies, contentions, blasphemies, evil suspicions,
5並那壞了心術、失喪真理之人的爭競。他們以敬虔為得利的門路。
5Conflicts of men corrupted in mind, and who are destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness.
6然而，敬虔加上知足的心便是大利了；
6But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7因為我們沒有帶甚麼到世上來，也不能帶甚麼去。
7For we brought nothing into this world: and certainly we can carry nothing out.
8只要有衣有食，就當知足。
8But having food, and wherewith to be covered, with these we are content.
9但那些想要發財的人，就陷在迷惑、落在網羅和許多無知有害的私慾裏，叫人沉在敗壞和滅亡中。
9For they that will become rich, fall into temptation, and into the snare of the devil, and into many unprofitable and hurtful desires, which drown men into destruction and perdition.
10貪財是萬惡之根。有人貪戀錢財，就被引誘離了真道，用許多愁苦把自己刺透了。
10For the desire of money is the root of all evils; which some coveting have erred from the faith, and have entangled themselves in many sorrows.
11但你這屬上帝的人要逃避這些事，追求公義、敬虔、信心、愛心、忍耐、溫柔。
11But thou, O man of God, fly these things: and pursue justice, godliness, faith, charity, patience, mildness.
12你要為真道打那美好的仗，持定永生。你為此被召，也在許多見證人面前，已經作了那美好的見證。
12Fight the good fight of faith: lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art called, and hast confessed a good confession before many witnesses.
13我在叫萬物生活的上帝面前，並在向 本丟‧彼拉多 作過那美好見證的基督耶穌面前囑咐你：
13I charge thee before God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who gave testimony under Pontius Pilate, a good confession,
14要守這命令，毫不玷污，無可指責，直到我們的主耶穌基督顯現。
14That thou keep the commandment without spot, blameless, unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15到了日期，那可稱頌、獨有權能的萬王之王、萬主之主，
15Which in his times he shall shew who is the Blessed and only Mighty, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16就是那獨一不死、住在人不能靠近的光裏，是人未曾看見、也是不能看見的，要將他顯明出來。但願尊貴和永遠的權能都歸給他。阿們！
16Who only hath immortality, and inhabiteth light inaccessible, whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and empire everlasting. Amen.
17你要囑咐那些今世富足的人，不要自高，也不要倚靠無定的錢財；只要倚靠那厚賜百物給我們享受的上帝。
17Charge the rich of this world not to be highminded, nor to trust in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, (who giveth us abundantly all things to enjoy,)
18又要囑咐他們行善，在好事上富足，甘心施捨，樂意供給人，
18To do good, to be rich in good works, to give easily, to communicate to others,
19為自己積成美好的根基，預備將來，叫他們持定那真正的生命。
19To lay up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the true life.
20提摩太 啊，你要保守所託付你的，躲避世俗的虛談和那敵真道、似是而非的學問。
20O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding the profane novelties of words, and oppositions of knowledge falsely so called.
21已經有人自稱有這學問，就偏離了真道。 願恩惠 常 與你們同在！
21Which some promising, have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
