2 Timothy 4
1 I solemnly testify therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is going to judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom,
这就是我在上帝和耶稣基督面前，指导你要做的事情。当耶稣基督到来并建立他的王国，将对活人和死人进行审判。
2 preach the word, stand ready in season, out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
无论是否方便，都要讲述上帝之道；如果人们犯错，要告诉他们，警告他们，鼓励他们。当你这样做时，要用极大的耐心进行教导。
3 For there will be time when they will not tolerate sound doctrine, but they will accumulate teachers to themselves according to their own desires, who tickle the ear,
因为人们即将不再听得下真正的教导，那个时刻很快就会到来。到时候，他们会好奇地想要听不一样的教导，他们身边的老师，会讲述他们爱听的东西。
4 and will indeed turn the ear away from the truth, and will be turned aside to myths.
他们不再聆听真理，反倒流连于谬误。
5 But be thou sober in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, bring thy ministry to fullness.
你要时刻保持明智，忍受磨难，进行传福音的工作，完成你的职责。
6 For I am already poured out a libation, and the time of my dissolution is imminent.
我即将被牺牲；我离世的时候即将到来。
7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.
我已进行了一场良善的战斗，已跑完比赛，已坚持对上帝的信。
8 Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me in that day, and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
现在有一个奖励留给了我，那是因遵循好事和正直良善而获得的冠冕。主（他是总能正确行事的法官）会在那一天给我这个冠冕。不只是给我，也给渴望他到来的所有人。
9 Hurry to come to me quickly,
请尽快到我这边来。。
10 for Demas forsook me having loved the present age, and he went to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)

14 Alexander the coppersmith did many evil things to me. May the Lord repay him according to his works,

15 of whom thou also beware, for he extremely opposed our words.
你也要提防他，因为他极力反对我所说的话。
16 At my first defense no man came with me, but all forsook me. May it not be reckoned to them.
我第一次辩护的时候，没有一个人支持我，反而离开我。但愿他们不会因此而受到责备。
17 But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the sacred message might be brought to fullness, and all the Gentiles might hear. And I was rescued out of the mouth of the lion.

18 And the Lord will rescue me from every evil work, and will save me for his heavenly kingdom, to whom is the glory into the ages of the ages. Truly. (aiōn g165)
主必救我脱离一切邪恶之事，也必带我安全进入他在天上的王国。愿荣耀永远归给他。阿门。 (aiōn g165)
