1 Timothy 6
1 What euere seruauntis ben vndur yok, deme thei her lordis worthi al onour, lest the name of the Lord and the doctryn be blasfemyd.
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 And thei that han feithful lordis, dispise hem not, for thei ben britheren; but more serue thei, for thei ben feithful and louyd, whiche ben parceneris of benefice. Teche thou these thingis, and moneste thou these thingis.
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 ony man techith othere wise, and acordith not to the hoolsum wordis of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, and to that teching that is bi pitee,
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 is proud, and kan no thing, but langwischith aboute questiouns and stryuyng of wordis, of the whiche ben brouyt forth enuyes, stryues, blasfemyes, yuele suspiciouns, fiytingis of men,
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 that ben corrupt in soule, and that ben pryued fro treuthe, that demen wynnyng to be pitee.
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 But a greet wynnyng is pitee, with sufficience.
然而，敬虔加上知足的心便是大利了；
7 For we brouyten in no thing in to this world, and no doute, that we moun not bere `awey ony thing.
因為我們沒有帶甚麼到世上來，也不能帶甚麼去。
8 But we hauynge foodis, and with what thingus we schulen be hilid, be we paied with these thingis.
只要有衣有食，就當知足。
9 For thei that wolen be maad riche, fallen in to temptacioun, and `in to snare of the deuel, and in to many vnprofitable desiris and noyous, whiche drenchen men in to deth and perdicioun.
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 For the rote of alle yuelis is coueytise, which summen coueitinge erriden fro the feith, and bisettiden hem with many sorewis.
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 But, thou, man of God, fle these thingis; but sue thou riytwisnesse, pite, feith, charite, pacience, myldenesse.
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 Stryue thou a good strijf of feith, catche euerlastinge lijf, in to which thou art clepid, and hast knoulechid a good knouleching bifor many witnessis. (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 comaunde to thee bifor God, that quikeneth alle thingis, and bifor Crist Jhesu, that yeldide a witnessing vnder Pilat of Pounce, a good confessioun,
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 that thou kepe the comaundement with out wem, with out repreef, in to the comyng of oure Lord Jhesu Crist;
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 whom the blessid and aloone miyti king of kyngis and Lord of lordis schal schewe in his tymes.
到了日期，那可稱頌、獨有權能的萬王之王、萬主之主，
16 Which aloone hath vndeedlynesse, and dwellith in liyt, to which no man may come; whom no man say, nether may se; to whom glorie, and honour, and empire be with out ende. 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 Comaunde thou to the riche men of this world, that thei vndurstonde not hiyli, nether that thei hope in vncerteynte of richessis, but in the lyuynge God, that yyueth to vs alle thingis plenteuously to vse; (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 wel, to be maad riche in good werkis, liytli to yyue, to comyne,
又要囑咐他們行善，在好事上富足，甘心施捨，樂意供給人，
19 to tresoure to hem silf a good foundement in to tyme to comynge, that thei catche euerlastinge lijf.
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 Thou Tymothe, kepe the thing bitakun to thee, eschewynge cursid noueltees of voicis, and opynyouns of fals name of kunnyng;
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 summen bihetinge, aboute the feith fellen doun. The grace of God be with thee. Amen.
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！
