1 Timothy 6
1 Let as many seruaunts as are vnder the yoke, count their masters worthie of all honour, that the Name of God, and his doctrine be not euill spoken of.
作为奴仆，应当知道其主人值得尊重，避免玷污上帝之名和基督徒的信仰。
2 And they which haue beleeuing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren, but rather doe seruice, because they are faithfull, and beloued, and partakers of the benefite. These things teach and exhort.
如果奴仆的主人是基督徒，不可因为他们是兄弟而不尊重主人；相反，要更加倍用心地服侍主人，因为被他们服侍而受益之人，是他们应该爱的信徒。传授这些教导，鼓励人们追随他们。
3 If any man teach otherwise, and consenteth not to the wholesome wordes of our Lord Iesus Christ, and to the doctrine, which is according to godlinesse,
有的人会传授不同的信仰，不听从善意建议，尤其是我们主耶稣基督纯之道，以及上帝的真正教诲。
4 He is puft vp and knoweth nothing, but doteth about questions and strife of words, whereof commeth enuie, strife, railings, euill surmisings,
他们傲慢无礼，一无所知, 最喜欢猜测和进行理论争辩，由此产生妒忌、纷争、毁谤、恶毒的流言蜚语和邪恶的猜想。
5 Frowarde disputations of men of corrupt mindes and destitute of ye trueth, which thinke that gaine is godlines: from such separate thy selfe.
那些心思败坏、丧失真理的人不断争吵，他们将虔诚视为来财之道......
6 But godlinesse is great gaine, if a man be content with that he hath.
但知晓并追随上帝是如此令人满足。
7 For we brought nothing into the world, and it is certaine, that we can carie nothing out.
因为我们没有将任何东西带到这世上，也不能带任何东西离开。
8 Therefore when wee haue foode and raiment, let vs therewith be content.
只要我们有衣有食，就应当知足。
9 For they that will be rich, fall into tentation and snares, and into many foolish and noysome lustes, which drowne men in perdition and destruction.
但那些渴望发财之人，就会落入试探的陷阱；追随很多无知而有害的冲动。
10 For the desire of money is the roote of all euill, which while some lusted after, they erred from the faith, and pearced themselues through with many sorowes.
因为贪财是很多恶行的缘由。很多渴望钱财之人会偏离真理，伤害自己，经历许多的痛苦。
11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousnesse, godlines, faith, loue, patience, and meekenes.
但你是上帝之人，应该远离这些事，要追求做善良正直的事情，真正做到虔诚，相信上帝。要去爱，要忍耐和温柔。
12 Fight the good fight of faith: lay holde of eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
因你相信上帝，所以要为良善而战，坚定地相信永生，你就是因此而受到召唤，这也是你在许多见证人面前做出的承诺。 (aiōnios g166)
13 I charge thee in the sight of God, who quickeneth all thinges, and before Iesus Christ, which vnder Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession,
在为万物赐予生命的上帝面前，在曾向本丢·彼拉多证实福音的耶稣基督面前，我嘱咐你，
14 That thou keepe this commandement without spot, and vnrebukeable, vntill the appearing of our Lord Iesus Christ,
要虔诚地遵循所教导你的一切，这样你就不会受到指责，直到我们的主耶稣基督显现。
15 Which in due time hee shall shewe, that is blessed and Prince onely, the King of Kings and Lord of Lordes,
在适当的时候，那受到祝福的、唯一的全能者、万王之王、万主之主的耶稣，必将显现。
16 Who onely hath immortalitie, and dwelleth in the light that none can attaine vnto, whom neuer man sawe, neither can see, vnto whome bee honour and power euerlasting, Amen. (aiōnios g166)
只有他能够永生，住在不能靠近的光之中。没有人见过他，也无法看见他。愿荣耀和永恒的力量都归给他！阿门。 (aiōnios g166)
17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high minded, and that they trust not in vncertaine riches, but in the liuing God, (which giueth vs aboundantly, all things to enioy) (aiōn g165)
警告那些现世的富有之人，不要骄傲。告诉他们不要去信那并不可靠的财富，要信那赐予我们万物、供我们享用的上帝。 (aiōn g165)
18 That they doe good, and be riche in good woorkes, and readie to distribute, and comunicate,
嘱咐他们要行善，在善事上做到富有，准备好分享自己所拥有的，要慷慨好施。
19 Laying vp in store for themselues a good foundation against the time to come, that they may obteine eternall life.
通过这种方式，他们就是在积累财富，为未来打下一个坚固的基础，让他们可以拥有真正的生命。
20 O Timotheus, keepe that which is committed vnto thee, and auoide prophane and vaine babblings, and oppositios of science falsely so called,
提摩太，要保护好交给你的一切，不要关注那些冒充“知识”毫无意义空谈和争辩。
21 Which while some professe, they haue erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee, Amen. ‘The first Epistle to Timotheus, written from Laodicea, which is the chiefest citie of Phrygia Pacaciana.’
那些宣传这些想法的人，已经偏离了对上帝的信。愿恩典与你同在。
