提前5:1-8 規勸男女老幼

1  Πρεσβυτέρῳ μὴ ἐπιπλήξῃς ἀλλὰ παρακάλει ὡς πατέρα, νεωτέρους ὡς ἀδελφούς,
1  Do not sharply rebuke an older man, but rather appeal to him as a father, to the younger men as brothers,
1不可嚴責(责骂 CLB)老年人，要勸(用亲切恭敬的口吻劝告 CLB)同父親。要待年輕人如同弟兄，
2  πρεσβυτέρας ὡς μητέρας, νεωτέρας ὡς ἀδελφὰς ἐν πάσῃ ἁγνείᾳ.
2  the older women as mothers, and the younger women as sisters, in all purity.
2年老婦女如同母親。要清清潔潔(存著純潔的心 CNV5;以完全純潔的心 CCV; 心清意正 CLB)地待年輕婦女如同姊妹。

3  Χήρας τίμα τὰς ὄντως χήρας.
3  Honor widows who are widows indeed;
3要尊敬(敬重供養 CNV5; 敬重和帮助 CLB)真正守寡的婦人。

4  εἰ δέ τις χήρα τέκνα ἢ ἔκγονα ἔχει, μανθανέτωσαν πρῶτον τὸν ἴδιον οἶκον εὐσεβεῖν καὶ ἀμοιβὰς ἀποδιδόναι τοῖς προγόνοις· τοῦτο γάρ ἐστιν ἀπόδεκτον ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ.
4  but if any widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to practice piety in regard to their own family and to make some return to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
4寡婦若有兒女，或有孫兒女，要讓兒孫先在自己家中學習行孝，報答(将回敬的奉养报答 LZV) 親恩，因為這在上帝面前是可蒙悅納的。

5  ἡ δὲ ὄντως χήρα καὶ μεμονωμένη ἤλπικεν ἐπὶ θεὸν καὶ προσμένει ταῖς δεήσεσιν καὶ ταῖς προσευχαῖς νυκτὸς καὶ ἡμέρας,
5  Now she who is a widow indeed and who has been left alone, has fixed her hope on God and continues in entreaties and prayers night and day.
5獨居無靠(剩下自己孤獨一人 CCV) 的真寡婦只仰賴(把盼望钉住于 LZV) 上帝，晝夜不住地祈求禱告。

6  ἡ δὲ σπαταλῶσα ζῶσα τέθνηκεν.
6  But she who gives herself to wanton pleasure is dead even while she lives.
6但好宴樂(生活放縱 CCV; 任性纵欲 SCO; 贪图享受 CLB; 专想享乐 TEV) 的寡婦活著也算是死了。

7  καὶ ταῦτα παράγγελλε, ἵνα ἀνεπίλημπτοι ὦσιν.
7  Prescribe these things as well, so that they may be above reproach.
7這些事，你要囑咐(劝戒 SCO; 教导 TEV)她們，讓她們無可指責。

8  εἰ δέ τις τῶν ἰδίων καὶ μάλιστα οἰκείων οὐ προνοεῖ, τὴν πίστιν ἤρνηται καὶ ἔστιν ἀπίστου χείρων.
8  But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
8若有人不照顧 (供養 CCV; 筹谋 LZV) 親屬，尤其是自己家裏的人，就是背棄信仰 (真道 CU5)，還不如不信的人(比不信的人還壞 CNV5)。
