提摩太前書

第6章

1 夫旣服役爲奴、則務敬厥主、免上帝名與教見譏於人、

2 有宗教爲爾主者、勿以同教兄弟而生藐視、必服事維勤、以其宗教可愛、宜獲爾益、此當勸誨焉、

3 有人傳異教、背吾主耶穌基督正理、棄敬虔之至道、

4 無知而自衒、辯論是務、言啓爭端、媢嫉爭競、訕謗惡意、由此而生、

5 其人壞心術、滅眞理、惟尚虛談、謂敬虔足以邀利、如此者、爾當遠之、

6 然敬虔知足、則利莫大焉、

7 我出世無所制攜來、逝世無所攜去、此理昭然、

8 衣食足、當知止、

9 苟圖富有、陷誘惑、罹羅網、溺於無理有害之欲、終必沉淪、

10 好利爲萬惡根、有人慕之、則背於道、以多苦自刺、

11 惟爾事上帝之人、在所必戒、而從義、虔、信、仁、柔、忍、

12 爲主道竭力者、善也、爾當務之、俾克受永生、特此故爾奉召、當衆證者前、自明其志、

13 生萬有者上帝也、善自訴於本丟彼拉多前者、基督耶穌也、於上帝曁基督前、余命爾、

14 當守此誡、無玷缺、無可責、迨吾主耶穌基督昭著、

15 屆期、將示基督昭著者、獨一有福有權、諸君之君、諸主之主、

16 惟彼永生、處於光明、衆不能至、人所未見、亦不得見、願以尊榮權力稱之、永世靡曁、

17 當諭此世之富者、心勿傲、無定之財勿恃、惟賴永生上帝、洪賜我衆、百物以享之、

18 故命富者爲善、累積美事、喜以賙濟、

19 樂與衆共、夫如是、厚築善基、預備厥後、克受永生、

20 提摩太乎、當守所托之命、棄妄論浮詞、偽爲智慧之辯、

21 若以小智爲智、是背信主之道、惟願爾得恩焉。

1 Timothy

Chapter 6

1 Let as many3745 servants1401 as are under5259 the yoke2218 count2233 their own2398 masters1203 worthy514 of all3956 honor,5092 that the name3686 of God2316 and his doctrine1319 be not blasphemed.987

2 And they that have2192 believing4103 masters,1203 let them not despise2706 them, because3754 they are brothers;80 but rather3123 do1398 them service,1398 because3754 they are faithful4103 and beloved,27 partakers482 of the benefit.2108 These5023 things teach1321 and exhort.3870

3 If1487 any1536 man teach2085 otherwise,2085 and consent4334 not to wholesome5198 words,3056 even the words of our Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ,5547 and to the doctrine1319 which is according2596 to godliness;2150

4 He is proud,5187 knowing1987 nothing,3367 but doting3552 about4012 questions2214 and strifes3055 of words,3055 whereof1537 3739 comes1096 envy,5355 strife,2054 railings,988 evil4190 surmisings,5283

5 Perverse3859 disputings3859 of men444 of corrupt1311 minds,3563 and destitute650 of the truth,225 supposing3543 that gain4200 is godliness:2150 from such5108 withdraw868 yourself.

6 But godliness2150 with contentment841 is great3173 gain.4200

7 For we brought1533 nothing3762 into1519 this3588 world,2889 and it is certain1212 we can1410 carry1627 nothing3761 5100 out.

8 And having2192 food1305 and raiment4629 let us be therewith5125 content.714

9 But they that will1014 be rich4147 fall into1519 temptation3986 and a snare,3803 and into1519 many4183 foolish453 and hurtful983 lusts,1939 which3748 drown1036 men444 in destruction3639 and perdition.684

10 For the love5365 of money5365 is the root4491 of all3956 evil:2556 which3739 while some5100 coveted3713 after, they have erred635 from the faith,4102 and pierced4044 themselves1438 through4044 with many4183 sorrows.3601

11 But you, O man444 of God,2316 flee5343 these5023 things; and follow1377 after righteousness,1343 godliness,2150 faith,4102 love,26 patience,5281 meekness.4236

12 Fight75 the good2570 fight73 of faith,4102 lay1949 hold1949 on1949 eternal166 life,2222 whereunto1519 3739 you are also2532 called,2564 and have professed3670 a good2570 profession3671 before1799 many4183 witnesses.3144

13 I give you charge3853 in the sight1799 of God,2316 who3588 vivifies2227 all3956 things, and before Christ5547 Jesus,2424 who3588 before1909 Pontius4194 Pilate4091 witnessed3140 a good2570 confession;3671

14 That you keep5083 this3588 commandment1785 without784 spot,784 unrebukable,423 until3360 the appearing2015 of our Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ:5547

15 Which3739 in his times5550 he shall show,1166 who3588 is the blessed3107 and only3441 Potentate,1413 the King935 of kings,936 and Lord2962 of lords;2961

16 Who3588 only3441 has2192 immortality,110 dwelling3611 in the light5457 which3739 no3762 man can approach676 to; whom3739 no3762 man444 has seen,1492 nor3761 can1410 see:1492 to whom3739 be honor5092 and power2904 everlasting.166 Amen.281

17 Charge3853 them that are rich4145 in this3588 3568 world,165 that they be not high minded,5309 nor3366 trust1679 in uncertain83 riches,4149 but in the living2198 God,2316 who3588 gives3930 us richly4146 all3956 things to enjoy;619

18 That they do14 good,14 that they be rich4147 in good2570 works,2041 ready2130 to distribute,2130 willing2843 to communicate;2843

19 Laying597 up in store597 for themselves1438 a good2570 foundation2310 against1519 the time3195 to come,3195 that they may lay1949 hold1949 on1949 eternal166 life.2222

20 O Timothy,5095 keep5442 that which is committed3872 to your trust, avoiding1624 profane952 and vain2757 babblings,2757 and oppositions477 of science1108 falsely5581 so called:5581

21 Which3739 some5100 professing1861 have erred795 concerning4012 the faith.4102 Grace5485 be with you. Amen.281 The first to Timothy was written from Laodicea, which is the chiefest city of Phrygia Pacatiana.
