提前6

提摩太前書-1 Timothy 第 6 章

6:1	凡在軛下作奴仆的，當以自己的主人為配受十分尊敬的，免得神的名和我們的教訓被褻瀆。 As many as are slaves under the yoke should regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, lest the name of God and our teaching be blasphemed.
6:2	奴仆若有信主的主人，不可因他們是弟兄就輕看他們，倒要越發服事他們，因為受到你們善良事工之益，而要還報你們的，是相信並蒙愛的。這些事你要教導人，並勸勉人。 And those who have believing masters should not despise them, because they are brothers; but rather they should serve them, because those who recompense them for the kindly service received are believers and beloved. These things teach and exhort.
6:3	若有人教導的不同，不讚同健康的話，就是我們主耶穌基督的話，以及那合乎敬虔的教訓， If anyone teaches different things and does not consent to healthy words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the teaching which is according to godliness,
6:4	他是為高傲所蒙蔽，一無所知，卻好問難，爭辯言辭，由此就生出嫉妒、爭競、毀謗、惡意的猜疑， He is blinded with pride, understanding nothing, but is diseased with questionings and contentions of words, out of which come envy, strife, slanders, evil suspicions,
6:5	以及那敗壞了心思，以敬虔為得利的門路，而失喪了真理之人無止境的爭論。 Perpetual wranglings of men corrupted in mind and deprived of the truth, supposing godliness to be a means of gain.
6:6	然而敬虔又知足，便是大利了； But godliness with contentment is great gain;
6:7	因為我們沒有帶什麼到世界來，也不能帶什麼去； For we have brought nothing into the world, because neither can we carry anything out.
6:8	隻要有養生與遮身之物，就當以此為足。 But having food and covering, with these we will be content.
6:9	但那些想要發財的人，就陷在試誘、網羅、和許多無知有害的私欲裏，叫人沉溺在敗壞和滅亡中。 But those who intend to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge men into destruction and ruin.
6:10	因為貪財是萬惡之根，有人貪戀錢財，就受迷惑，離棄了信仰，用許多苦痛把自己刺透了。 For the love of money is a root of all evils, because of which some, aspiring after money, have been led away from the faith and pierced themselves through with many pains.
6:11	但你這屬神的人啊，要逃避這些事，竭力追求公義、敬虔、信、愛、忍耐、溫柔。 But you, O man of God, flee these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, meekness.
6:12	你要為信仰打那美好的仗，持定永遠的生命；你已蒙召進入這永遠的生命，也在許多見證人麵前，作了美好的承認。 Fight the good fight of the faith; lay hold on the eternal life, to which you were called and have confessed the good confession before many witnesses.
6:13	我在使萬物生存的神，並那向本丟彼拉多，作過美好承認之見證的基督耶穌麵前囑咐你， I charge you before God, who preserves all things in life, and Christ Jesus, who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate,
6:14	要保守這命令不受玷汙，無可指責，直到我們的主耶穌基督顯現； To keep the commandment spotless, without reproach, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
6:15	在適當的時期，那可稱頌、獨有權能的，萬王之王，萬主之主， Which in its own times the blessed and only Sovereign will show, the King of those who reign as kings and Lord of those who rule as lords,
6:16	就是那獨一不死，住在不能靠近的光中，是人未曾看見，也不能看見的，要將基督這顯現顯明出來。願尊貴和永遠的權能都歸與祂。阿們。 Who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen nor can see, to whom be honor and eternal might. Amen.
6:17	你要囑咐那些今世富足的人，不要心思高傲，也不要寄望於無定的錢財，隻要寄望於那將百物豐富的供給我們享受的神； Charge those who are rich in the present age not to be high-minded, nor to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches but on God, who affords us all things richly for our enjoyment;
6:18	又要囑咐他們行善，在善事上富足，甘心分授，樂意與人同享， To do good, to be rich in good works, to be ready to distribute, to be ones willing to share;
6:19	為著將來，替自己積存美好的根基作寶藏，叫他們持定那真實的生命。 Laying away for themselves a good foundation as a treasure for the future, that they may lay hold on that which is really life.
6:20	提摩太啊，你要保守所托付你的，避開世俗的空談，和那些冒稱知識的反論； O Timothy, guard the deposit, turning away from profane, vain babblings and oppositions from what is falsely called knowledge,
6:21	有些人自稱有這知識，就在信仰上偏離了目標。願恩典與你們同在。 Because of which some, professing this, have misaimed regarding the faith. Grace be with you.
