奉上帝旨意，照着在基督耶穌裏生命的應許，作基督耶穌使徒的保羅

2 To Timothy [my] beloved child: Grace, mercy, [and] peace from God [the] Father and Christ Jesus the Lord of us.

寫信給我親愛的兒子提摩太。願恩惠、憐憫、平安從父上帝和我們主基督耶穌歸與你！

3 Thankful I am to God, whom I serve from [my] forefathers with a pure conscience, as unceasingly I have the of you remembrance in the prayers of mine night and day

我感謝上帝，就是我接續祖先用清潔的良心所事奉的上帝。祈禱的時候，不住的想念你，

4 longing you to see, having yourself recalled your tears, so that with joy I may be filled

記念你的眼淚，晝夜切切地想要見你，好叫我滿心快樂。

5 remembrance (having taken *N(k)O*) of the within you sincere faith, which dwelt first in the grandmother of you Lois and in the mother of you Eunice, I have been persuaded now that also [it is] in you.

想到你心裏無偽之信，這信是先在你外祖母羅以和你母親友妮基心裏的，我深信也在你的心裏。

6 For this reason I remind you to kindle anew the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of the hands of mine;

為此我提醒你，使你將上帝藉我按手所給你的恩賜再如火挑旺起來。

7 Not for has given us God a spirit of cowardice but of power and of love and of self-control.

因為上帝賜給我們，不是膽怯的心，乃是剛強、仁愛、謹守的心。

8 Not therefore you may be ashamed of the testimony of the Lord of us nor of me myself the prisoner of Him, but do suffer together for the gospel according to [the] power of God

你不要以給我們的主作見證為恥，也不要以我這為主被囚的為恥；總要按上帝的能力，與我為福音同受苦難。

9 the [One who] having saved us and having called [us] with a calling holy, not according to the works of us but according to [His] own purpose and grace which having been given us in Christ Jesus before time eternal, (aiōnios g166)

上帝救了我們，以聖召召我們，不是按我們的行為，乃是按他的旨意和恩典；這恩典是萬古之先，在基督耶穌裏賜給我們的， (aiōnios g166)

10 having been made manifest also now through the appearing of the Savior of us Christ Jesus, having abolished indeed death, having brought to light however life and immortality through the gospel,

但如今藉着我們救主基督耶穌的顯現才表明出來了。他已經把死廢去，藉着福音，將不能壞的生命彰顯出來。

11 to which was appointed I myself a herald and an apostle and a teacher (of gentiles; *KO*)

我為這福音奉派作傳道的，作使徒，作師傅。

12 For this reason also these things I suffer, But not I am ashamed; I know for in whom I have believed and I have been persuaded that able He is the entrusted deposit of mine to guard for that [very] day.

為這緣故，我也受這些苦難。然而我不以為恥；因為知道我所信的是誰，也深信他能保全我所交付他的，直到那日。

13 [The] pattern do retain of sound words which from me you did hear in [the] faith and love that [are] in Christ Jesus;

你從我聽的那純正話語的規模，要用在基督耶穌裏的信心和愛心，常常守着。

14 The good (entrusted deposit *N(k)O*) do keep through [the] Spirit Holy who is dwelling in us.

從前所交託你的善道，你要靠着那住在我們裏面的聖靈牢牢地守着。

15 You know this, that turned away from me all those in Asia, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

凡在亞細亞的人都離棄我，這是你知道的，其中有腓吉路和黑摩其尼。

16 would grant mercy the Lord to the of Onesiphorus household; because often me he refreshed and the chain of mine not (he was ashamed of, *N(k)O*)

願主憐憫阿尼色弗一家的人；因他屢次使我暢快，不以我的鎖鍊為恥，

17 But having arrived in Rome (earnestly *N(k)O*) he sought out me and found [me];

反倒在羅馬的時候，殷勤地找我，並且找着了。

18 would grant unto him the Lord to find mercy from [the] Lord in that [very] day! And how much in Ephesus he served very well you yourself know.

願主使他在那日得主的憐憫。他在以弗所怎樣多多地服事我，是你明明知道的。
