1 Timothy 6
1 As many as are under a yoke [as] slaves, [their] own masters of all honor worthy they should esteem, so that not the name of God and the teaching may be denigrated.
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。
2 Those now believing having masters not they should despise [them] because brothers they are; but rather they should serve [them], because believing [ones] they are and beloved by the good service being helped. These things do teach and do exhort.
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。
3 If anyone teaches another doctrine and not he draws near to sound words of the Lord of us Jesus Christ and the according to godliness teaching,
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，
4 he has been puffed up nothing knowing but unhealthy about controversies and disputes about words, out of which come envy, strife, slander, suspicions evil,
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，
5 [and] constant frictions corrupted among men in mind and defrauded of the truth, holding a means of gain to be godliness (do depart from [one of] such. *K*)
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。
6 Is however gain great godliness with contentment.
然而，敬虔加上知足的心便是大利了；
7 No [thing] for we brought into the world, (evident *K*) because neither to carry out anything are we able;
因為我們沒有帶甚麼到世上來，也不能帶甚麼去。
8 Having however sustenance and coverings, with these we will be content.
只要有衣有食，就當知足。
9 Those however desiring to be rich they fall into temptation and a snare and desires many foolish and harmful, which plunge men into ruin and destruction.
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。
10 A root for of all kinds of evils is the love of money, which some stretching after were seduced away from the faith and themselves pierced with sorrows many.
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。
11 You yourself however, O man (*k*) of God, these things do flee, do pursue now righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, ([and] gentleness; *N(K)O*)
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。
12 do fight the good fight of the faith, do lay hold of the eternal life to which (also *k*) you were called and did confess the good confession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
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。 (aiōnios g166)
13 I charge you before God who (is giving life *N(k)O*) to all things and Christ Jesus the [One who] having testified before Pontius Pilate the good confession
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：
14 to keep you the commandment without stain, above reproach until the appearing of the Lord of us Jesus Christ,
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。
15 which in seasons [their] own He will display the blessed and alone Sovereign, the King of those being kings and [the] Lord of those being lords,
到了日期，那可稱頌、獨有權能的萬王之王、萬主之主，
16 alone having immortality, in light dwelling unapproachable, whom has seen no [one] of men nor to see is able, to whom [be] honor and dominion eternal, Amen. (aiōnios g166)
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！ (aiōnios g166)
17 To the rich in the present age do instruct [them] not to be high-minded nor to have hope in of riches [the] uncertainty but (on *N(k)O*) (*k*) God (who is living *K*) who is providing us all things richly for enjoyment, (aiōn g165)
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。 (aiōn g165)
18 to do good, to be rich in works good, generous in distributing to be, ready to share,
又要囑咐他們行善，在好事上富足，甘心施捨，樂意供給人，
19 treasuring up for themselves a foundation good for the future, so that they may take hold of that which ([is] truly *N(K)O*) life.
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。
20 O Timothy, the (deposit committed [to you] *N(k)O*) do guard avoiding the profane empty babblings and opposing arguments falsely called knowledge,
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。
21 which some professing from the faith went astray. Grace [be] with (you [all] *N(k)O*) (Amen. *KO*) (to Timothy first it was written from Laodicea which is capital of Phrygia of Pacatiana. *K*)
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！
