提摩太前書5.9-16 登記寡婦
9  Χήρα καταλεγέσθω μὴ ἔλαττον ἐτῶν ἑξήκοντα γεγονυῖα, ἑνὸς ἀνδρὸς γυνή,
9  A widow is to be put on the list only if she is not less than sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,
9寡婦登記(录用 SCO)，年齡必須在六十歲以上，只作一個丈夫的妻子(只结过一次婚 CLB)，

10  ἐν ἔργοις καλοῖς μαρτυρουμένη, εἰ ἐτεκνοτρόφησεν, εἰ ἐξενοδόχησεν, εἰ ἁγίων πόδας ἔνιψεν, εἰ θλιβομένοις ἐπήρκεσεν, εἰ παντὶ ἔργῳ ἀγαθῷ ἐπηκολούθησεν.
10  having a reputation for good works; and if she has brought up children, if she has shown hospitality to strangers, if she has washed the saints' feet, if she has assisted those in distress, and if she has devoted herself to every good work.
10又有行善的名聲(善行的見證 CCV)，就如養育兒女，收留外人，洗聖徒的腳(服事圣徒 CLB)，救濟遭難的人，竭力行各樣善事。

11  νεωτέρας δὲ χήρας παραιτοῦ· ὅταν γὰρ καταστρηνιάσωσιν τοῦ Χριστοῦ, γαμεῖν θέλουσιν
11  But refuse to put younger widows on the list, for when they feel sensual desires in disregard of Christ, they want to get married,
11至於年輕的寡婦，你要拒絕登記，因為她們情慾衝動、背棄基督的時候，就想嫁人，

12  ἔχουσαι κρίμα ὅτι τὴν πρώτην πίστιν ἠθέτησαν·
12  thus incurring condemnation, because they have set aside their previous pledge.
12她們因廢棄了當初所許的願(信誓 CNV5; 諾言  CCV))而被定罪

13  ἅμα δὲ καὶ ἀργαὶ μανθάνουσιν περιερχόμεναι τὰς οἰκίας, οὐ μόνον δὲ ἀργαὶ ἀλλὰ καὶ φλύαροι καὶ περίεργοι, λαλοῦσαι τὰ μὴ δέοντα.
13  At the same time they also learn to be idle, as they go around from house to house; and not merely idle, but also gossips and busybodies, talking about things not proper to mention.
13同時，她們又學了懶惰，習慣於挨家閒逛 (游門串戶CCV)；不但懶惰，而且說長道短 (好說閒話  CNV5)，好管閒事，說些不該說的話。

14  Βούλομαι οὖν νεωτέρας γαμεῖν, τεκνογονεῖν, οἰκοδεσποτεῖν, μηδεμίαν ἀφορμὴν διδόναι τῷ ἀντικειμένῳ λοιδορίας χάριν·
14  Therefore, I want younger widows to get married, bear children, keep house, and give the enemy no occasion for reproach;
14所以，我希望 （願意 CU5; 认为 CLB; 要 SCO）年輕的寡婦嫁人，生養兒女，治理家務，不讓敵人有辱罵的把柄，

15  ἤδη γάρ τινες ἐξετράπησαν ὀπίσω τοῦ σατανᾶ.
15  for some have already turned aside to follow Satan.
15因為已經有一些人轉去(偏离 LZV; 偏离了真道 CLB; 改变初衷 TEV)隨從撒但了。

16  εἴ τις πιστὴ ἔχει χήρας, ἐπαρκείτω αὐταῖς καὶ μὴ βαρείσθω ἡ ἐκκλησία, ἵνα ταῖς ὄντως χήραις ἐπαρκέσῃ.
16  If any woman who is a believer has dependent widows, she must assist them and the church must not be burdened, so that it may assist those who are widows indeed.
16信主的婦女若有親戚是寡婦，要救濟(供养 SCO; 照顾 TEV) 她們，不可拖累教會(加重教會的負擔 CCV; 教会负重担了 LZV; 把担子推给教会 TEV)，好使教會能救濟真正無助的寡婦。
