2 Timothy 4
1 I charge [thee] in the sight of God, and of Christ Jesus, who shall judge the quick and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom;
我在天主和那要審判生死者的基督耶穌前，指著衪的顯現和衪的國，懇求你
2 preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
務要宣講真道，不論順境逆境，總要堅持不變；以百般的忍耐和各樣的教訓去反駁，去責斥，去勸勉。
3 For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts;
因為時刻將到，那時人不接受健全的道理，反而耳朵發癢，順從自己的情慾，為自己攏聚許多師傅；
4 and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside unto fables.
且掩耳不聽真理，偏去聽那無稽的傳說。
5 But be thou sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill thy ministry.
至於你，在一切事上務要慬慎，忍受堅苦，作傳揚福音的工作，完成你的職務。
6 For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure is come.

7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith:
這場好仗，我已打完；這場賽跑，我已跑到終點，這信仰，我已保持了。
8 henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give to me at that day: and not only to me, but also to all them that have loved his appearing.
從今以後，正義的冠冕已為我預備下了，就是主，正義的審判者，到那一日必要賞給我，不但賞給我，也賞給一切愛慕衪顯現的人。
9 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:
你要趕快到我這裏來，

18 The Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will save me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom [be] the glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
主要救我脫各種凶惡的事，也要我安全地進入衪天上的國。願光榮歸於衪，於無窮世之世，阿們。 (aiōn g165)
