凡负轭作奴隶的，要认为自己的主人配受各样的尊敬，免得神的名和教导被人亵渎。
Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
2奴隶若有信主的主人，不可因他是主内弟兄就轻看他们，更要越发服侍他们，因为得到服侍的益处的正是信徒，是蒙爱的人。假教导和真财富
你要教导和劝勉这些事。
And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
3若有人传别的教义，不符合我们主耶稣基督纯正的话语与合乎敬虔的教导，If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
4他是自高自大，一无所知，专好争辩，擅于舌战，因而生出嫉妒、纷争、毁谤、恶意猜疑，He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
5和心术不正与丧失真理的人不停地争吵，以敬虔为得利的门路。Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
6其实，敬虔加上知足就是大利。But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7因为我们没有带什么到世上来， 也不能带什么去；For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8只要有衣有食， 我们就该知足。And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9但那些想要发财的人就陷在诱惑、罗网和许多无知有害的欲望中，使人沉沦，以致败坏和灭亡。But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10贪财是万恶之根。有人因贪恋钱财而背离信仰，用许多愁苦把自己刺透了。美好的仗
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11但你这属神的人哪，要逃避这些事；要追求公义、敬虔、信心、爱心、忍耐、温柔。But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12你要为信仰打那美好的仗；要持定永生，你为此被召，也已经在许多见证人面前作了那美好的见证。Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
13我在那赐生命给万物的神面前，并在向本丢．彼拉多作过那美好见证的基督耶稣面前嘱咐你☛有古卷没有“你”。：I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
14要守这命令，毫不玷污，无可指责，直到我们的主耶稣基督显现。That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
15到了适当的时候都要显明出来： 他是那可称颂、独一的权能者， 万王之王， 万主之主，Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16就是那独一不死、 住在人不能靠近的光里， 是人未曾看见，也是不能看见的。 愿尊贵和永远的权能都归给他。阿们！Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
17至于那些今世富足的人，你要嘱咐他们不要自高，也不要倚赖靠不住的钱财；要倚靠那厚赐万物给我们享受的神。Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
18又要嘱咐他们行善，在好事上富足，甘心施舍，乐意分享，That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
19为自己积存财富，而为将来打美好的根基，好使他们能把握那真正的生命。Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
20提摩太啊，要持守所给你的托付。要躲避世俗的空谈和那假冒知识的矛盾言论。O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
21有人自称有这知识而偏离了信仰。 愿恩惠与你们同在！Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
