Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1A faithful saying: if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
1「人若想要得监督的职分，就是羡慕善工。」这话是可信的。
2It behoveth therefore a bishop to be blameless, the husband of one wife, sober, prudent, of good behaviour, chaste, given to hospitality, a teacher,
2作监督的，必须无可指责，只作一个妇人的丈夫，有节制，自守，端正，乐意接待远人，善于教导；
3Not given to wine, no striker, but modest, not quarrelsome, not covetous, but
3不因酒滋事，不打人，只要温和，不争竞，不贪财；
4One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all chastity.
4好好管理自己的家，使儿女凡事端庄顺服。
5But if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?
5人若不知道管理自己的家，焉能照管 神的教会呢？
6Not a neophyte: lest being puffed up with pride, he fall into the judgment of the devil.
6初入教的不可作监督，恐怕他自高自大，就落在魔鬼 所受 的刑罚里。
7Moreover he must have a good testimony of them who are without: lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
7监督也必须在教外有好名声，恐怕被人毁谤，落在魔鬼的网罗里。
8Deacons in like manner chaste, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre:
8作执事的，也是如此：必须端庄，不一口两舌，不好喝酒，不贪不义之财；
9Holding the mystery of faith in a pure conscience.
9要存清洁的良心，固守真道的奥秘。
10And let these also first be proved: and so let them minister, having no crime.
10这等人也要先受试验，若没有可责之处，然后叫他们作执事。
11The women in like manner chaste, not slanderers, but sober, faithful in all things.
11女执事也是如此：必须端庄，不说谗言，有节制，凡事忠心。
12Let deacons be the husbands of one wife: who rule well their children, and their own houses.
12执事只要作一个妇人的丈夫，好好管理儿女和自己的家。
13For they that have ministered well, shall purchase to themselves a good degree, and much confidence in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
13因为善作执事的，自己就得到美好的地步，并且在基督耶稣里的真道上大有胆量。
14These things I write to thee, hoping that I shall come to thee shortly.
14我指望快到你那里去，所以先将这些事写给你。
15But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
15倘若我耽延日久，你也可以知道在 神的家中当怎样行。这家就是永生 神的教会，真理的柱石和根基。
16And evidently great is the mystery of godliness, which was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, appeared unto angels, hath been preached unto the Gentiles, is believed in the world, is taken up in glory.
16大哉，敬虔的奥秘，无人不以为然！ 就是 神在肉身显现， 被圣灵称义， 被天使看见， 被传于外邦， 被世人信服， 被接在荣耀里。
