提摩太後書

第2章

1 我兒啊,你要在基督耶穌的恩典上剛強起來。

2 你在許多見證人面前聽見我所教訓的,也要交託那忠心能教導別人的人。

3 為此[therefore],你要忍受[endure]苦難,好像耶穌基督[Jesus Christ]的精兵。

4 凡在軍中當兵的,不將世務纏身,好叫那招他當兵的人喜悅。

5 人若在場上比武,非按規矩,[yet]不能得冠冕。

6 勞力的農夫,必須[must be]先得糧食。

7 我所說的話你要思想,這樣凡事主就給你聰明[and the Lord give thee understanding in all things]

8 你要記念耶穌基督乃是大衛的後裔,他從死裏復活,正合乎我所傳的福音;

9 我為這福音像行惡的人一樣[as an evil doer]受苦難,甚至被捆綁[even unto bonds]。然而神的道卻不被捆綁。

10 所以我為選民凡事忍耐,叫他們也可以得著那在基督耶穌裏的救恩和永遠的榮耀。

11 這話是可信的,說[It is a faithful saying]:「我們若與基督同死去[be dead],也必與他同活;

12 我們若能受苦[suffer],也必和他一同作王;我們若不認他,他也必不認我們;

13 我們縱然不信[believe not],他仍是可信的;[he]不能背乎自己。」

14 你要使眾人回想這些事,在主面前囑咐他們,不可為言語爭辯;這是沒有益處的,只能敗壞聽見的人。

15 你當用功[Study],在神面前得蒙喜悅,作無愧的工人,按著正意分解真理的道。

16 但要遠避世俗的虛談,因為這等人必進到更不敬虔的地步。

17 他們的話如同毒瘡,越爛越大;其中有許米乃和腓理徒,

18 他們偏離了真理[truth],說復活的事已過,就敗壞好些人的信心。

19 然而,神所立的根基堅立[foundation of God standeth sure]住了;上面有這印記說:「主認識誰是他的人。」又說:「凡稱呼基督之名[name of Christ]的人總要離開不義。」

20 但是[But],在大戶人家,不但有金器銀器,也有木器瓦器;有作為貴重的,有作為卑賤的。

21 故此[therefore],人若自潔,脫離卑賤的事,就必作貴重的器皿,成為聖潔,合乎主用,預備行各樣的善[work]

22 [also]要逃避少年的私慾;倒要[but]同那心中純淨[pure inheart]禱告主的人追求公義、信心[faith]、仁愛、平安[peace]

23 唯有那愚拙無學問的辯論,總要遠避[avoid]知道[knowing that]這等事是起爭鬧[strifes]的。

24 然而主的僕人[must]不可爭競;只要溫溫和和的待眾人,善於教導,存心忍耐,

25 用溫柔勸戒那抵擋的人;或者神讓他們悔改去明白真理[give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth]

26 叫他們這已經被魔鬼任意擄去的,可以醒悟,脫離他的網羅。

Chapter 2

1 You therefore,3767 my son,5043 be strong1743 in the grace5485 that is in Christ5547 Jesus.2424

2 And the things that you have heard191 of me among1223 many4183 witnesses,3144 the same5023 commit3908 you to faithful4103 men,444 who3748 shall be able2425 to teach1321 others2087 also.2532

3 You therefore3767 endure2553 hardness,2553 as a good2570 soldier4757 of Jesus2424 Christ.5547

4 No3762 man3762 that wars4754 entangles1707 himself with the affairs4230 of this life;979 that he may please700 him who has chosen4758 him to be a soldier.4758

5 And if1437 a man5100 also2532 strive118 for masteries, yet is he not crowned,4737 except3362 he strive118 lawfully.3545

6 The farmer1092 that labors2872 must1163 be first4413 partaker3335 of the fruits.2590

7 Consider3539 what3739 I say;3004 and the Lord2962 give1325 you understanding4907 in all3956 things.

8 Remember3421 that Jesus2424 Christ5547 of the seed4690 of David1138 was raised1453 from the dead3498 according2596 to my gospel:2098

9 Wherein1722 3757 I suffer2553 trouble,2553 as an evil2557 doer,2557 even to bonds;1199 but the word3056 of God2316 is not bound.1210

10 Therefore I endure5278 all3956 things for the elect's1588 sakes, that they may also2532 obtain5177 the salvation4991 which3588 is in Christ5547 Jesus2424 with eternal166 glory.1391

11 It is a faithful4103 saying:3056 For if1487 we be dead4880 with him, we shall also2532 live4800 with him:

12 If1487 we suffer,5278 we shall also2532 reign4821 with him: if1487 we deny720 him, he also2548 will deny720 us:

13 If1487 we believe569 not, yet he stays3306 faithful:4103 he cannot3756 1410 deny720 himself.1438

14 Of these5023 things put5279 them in remembrance,5279 charging1263 them before1799 the Lord2962 that they strive3054 not about words3054 to no3762 profit,5539 but to the subverting2692 of the hearers.191

15 Study4704 to show3936 yourself4572 approved1384 to God,2316 a workman2040 that needs422 not to be ashamed,422 rightly dividing3718 the word3056 of truth.225

16 But shun4026 profane952 and vain2757 babblings:2757 for they will increase4298 to more4119 ungodliness.763

17 And their word3056 will eat3542 2192 as does a canker:1044 of whom3739 is Hymenaeus5211 and Philetus;5372

18 Who3748 concerning4012 the truth225 have erred,795 saying3004 that the resurrection386 is past1096 already;2235 and overthrow396 the faith4102 of some.5100

19 Nevertheless3305 the foundation2310 of God2316 stands2476 sure,4731 having2192 this5026 seal,4973 The Lord2962 knows1097 them that are his. And, Let every3956 one that names3687 the name3686 of Christ5547 depart868 from iniquity.93

20 But in a great3173 house3614 there are not only3440 vessels4632 of gold5552 and of silver,693 but also2532 of wood3585 and of earth;3749 and some3588 3303 to honor,5092 and some3588 to dishonor.819

21 If1437 a man5100 therefore3767 purge1571 himself1438 from these,5130 he shall be a vessel4632 to honor,5092 sanctified,37 and meet2173 for the master's1203 use, and prepared2090 to every3956 good18 work.2041

22 Flee5343 also1161 youthful3512 lusts:1939 but follow1377 righteousness,1343 faith,4102 charity,26 peace,1515 with them that call1941 on1941 the Lord2962 out of a pure2513 heart.2588

23 But foolish3474 and unlearned521 questions2214 avoid,3868 knowing1492 that they do engender1080 strifes.3163

24 And the servant1401 of the Lord2962 must1163 not strive;3164 but be gentle2261 to all3956 men, apt1317 to teach,1317 patient,420

25 In meekness4236 instructing3811 those3588 that oppose475 themselves; if3379 God2316 peradventure3379 will give1325 them repentance3341 to the acknowledging1922 of the truth;225

26 And that they may recover366 themselves out of the snare3803 of the devil,1228 who are taken2221 captive2221 by him at1519 his will.2307
