提摩太前書

第3章

1 欲爲會督、慕善職也、誠哉是言、

2 督者當無間然、惟一其妻、謹慎廉節、守己以正、柔遠人、善施教、

3 不酗不競、非義之利勿取、必寬裕温良、務絕貪婪、

4 理以齊家、嚴以教子、

5 家不克齊、焉能理上帝會乎、

6 甫入教者、未可爲督、恐自衒與魔鬼同刑、

7 會以外、督宜有令聞、恐遭擯斥、而罹魔鬼之網、

8 會之執事、亦當嚴正、勿二言、勿嗜酒、勿取非義之利、

9 清心守主之妙理、

10 若此者必先試之、無間然而後可爲執事、

11 會中之婦亦當嚴正、勿興謠諑、謹事而信、

12 會之執事、惟一其妻、善齊家教子、

13 善爲會執事、可得上爵、侃侃言基督耶穌道、

14 我望速至爾、恐或濡滯、故遺爾以書、

15 使知所當爲於上帝宮、卽眞理之柱石、永生上帝會、

16 敬主之道、至大至妙、無不以爲然、上帝假人身而顯著、稱義於聖神、見於天使、聞於異邦、信於天下、而躋光明之域。

Chapter 3

1 This is a true4103 saying,3056 If a man1536 desire3713 the office of a bishop,1984 he desireth1937 a good2570 work.2041

2 A bishop1985 then3767 must1163 be1511 blameless,423 the husband435 of one3391 wife,1135 vigilant,3524 sober,4998 of good behavior,2887 given to hospitality,5382 apt to teach;1317

3 Not3361 given to wine,3943 no3361 striker,4131 not3361 greedy of filthy lucre;146 but235 patient,1933 not a brawler,269 not covetous;866

4 One that ruleth4291 well2573 his own2398 house,3624 having2192 his children5043 in1722 subjection5292 with3326 all3956 gravity;4587

5 (For1161 if1487 a man5100 know1492 not3756 how to rule4291 his own2398 house,3624 how4459 shall he take care of1959 the church1577 of God?)2316

6 Not3361 a novice,3504 lest3363 being lifted up with pride5187 he fall1706 into1519 the condemnation2917 of the3588 devil.1228

7 Moreover1161 he846 must1163 2532 have2192 a good2570 report3141 of575 them which are without;1855 lest3363 he fall1706 into1519 reproach3680 and2532 the snare3803 of the3588 devil.1228

8 Likewise5615 must the deacons1249 be grave,4586 not3361 doubletongued,1351 not3361 given4337 to much4183 wine,3631 not3361 greedy of filthy lucre;146

9 Holding2192 the3588 mystery3466 of the3588 faith4102 in1722 a pure2513 conscience.4893

10 And2532 let these3778 also1161 first4412 be proved;1381 then1534 let them use the office of a deacon,1247 being5607 found blameless.410

11 Even so5615 must their wives1135 be grave,4586 not3361 slanderers,1228 sober,3524 faithful4103 in1722 all things.3956

12 Let the deacons1249 be2077 the husbands435 of one3391 wife,1135 ruling4291 their children5043 and2532 their own2398 houses3624 well.2573

13 For1063 they that have used the office of a deacon1247 well2573 purchase4046 to themselves1438 a good2570 degree,898 and2532 great4183 boldness3954 in1722 the faith4102 which3588 is in1722 Christ5547 Jesus.2424

14 These things5023 write1125 I unto thee,4671 hoping1679 to come2064 unto4314 thee4571 shortly: 5032

15 But1161 if1437 I tarry long,1019 that2443 thou mayest know1492 how4459 thou oughtest1163 to behave thyself390 in1722 the house3624 of God,2316 which3748 is2076 the church1577 of the living2198 God,2316 the pillar4769 and2532 ground1477 of the3588 truth.225

16 And2532 without controversy3672 great3173 is2076 the3588 mystery3466 of godliness:2150 God2316 was manifest5319 in1722 the flesh,4561 justified1344 in1722 the Spirit,4151 seen3700 of angels,32 preached2784 unto1722 the Gentiles,1484 believed on4100 in1722 the world,2889 received up353 into1722 glory.1391
