提摩太后书 1

问候

1 奉上帝旨意，按照基督耶稣里所应许的生命，作基督耶稣使徒的保罗， 2 写信给我亲爱的儿子提摩太。愿恩惠、怜悯、平安t从父上帝和我们的主基督耶稣归给你！

忠于福音

3 我感谢上帝，就是我接续祖先用纯洁的良心所事奉的上帝，在祈祷中昼夜不停地想念你。 4 我一想起你的眼泪，就急切想见你，好让我满心快乐。 5 我记得你无伪的信心，这信心先存在你外祖母罗以和你母亲友妮基的心里，我深信也存在你的心里。 6 为这缘故，我提醒你要把上帝藉着我按手所给你的恩赐再如火挑旺起来。 7 因为上帝赐给我们的不是胆怯的心，而是刚强、仁爱、自制的心。

8 所以，不要以给我们的主作见证为耻，也不要以我这为主被囚的为耻；总要靠着上帝的大能，与我为福音同受苦难。

9 上帝救了我们， 以圣召召我们， 不是按我们的行为， 而是按他的旨意和恩典； 这恩典是万古之先 在基督耶稣里赐给我们的，

10 但如今 藉着我们的救主基督耶稣的显现已经表明出来； 他把死废去， 藉着福音，将不朽的生命彰显出来。

11 我为这福音奉派作传道，作使徒，作教师。 12 为这缘故，我也受这些苦难。然而，我不以为耻，因为我知道我所信的是谁，也深信他能保全他所交托我的t，直到那日。 13 你从我听到那健全的言论，要用在基督耶稣里的信心和爱心常常守着，作为规范。 14 你要靠着那住在我们里面的圣灵，牢牢守住所交托给你那美好的事。

15 你知道，所有在亚细亚的人都离弃了我，其中有腓吉路和黑摩其尼。 16 愿主怜悯阿尼色弗一家的人，因为他屡次令我欣慰。他不以我的铁链为耻， 17 反而一到罗马就急切寻找我，并且找到了。 18 愿主使他在那日能蒙主的怜悯。他在以弗所怎样多服事我，你是清楚知道的。

2 TIMOTHY 1

1 From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus.
God himself chose me to be an apostle, and he gave me the promised life that Jesus Christ makes possible.

2  t Timothy, you are like a dear child to me. I pray that God our Father and our Lord Christ Jesus will be kind and merciful to you and will bless you with peace!

Do Not Be Ashamed //of the Lord


3 Night and day I mention you in my prayers. I am always grateful for you, as I pray to the God my ancestors and I have served with a clear conscience. 4 I remember how you cried, and I want to see you, because this would make me truly happy. 5 t I also remember the genuine faith of your mother Eunice. Your grandmother Lois had the same sort of faith, and I am sure you have it as well. 6 So I ask you to make full use of the gift God gave you when I placed my hands on you.t Use it well.

7 God's Spiritt doesn't make cowards out of us. The Spirit gives us power, love, and self-control.

8 Don't be ashamed to speak for our Lord. And don't be ashamed of me, just because I am in jail for serving him. Use the power that comes from God and join with me in suffering for telling the good news.

9 God saved us and chose us
to be his holy people.
We did nothing
to deserve this,
but God planned it
because he is so kind.
Even before time began
God planned for Christ Jesus
to show kindness to us.

10 Now Christ Jesus has come
to offer us God's gift
of undeserved grace.
Christ our Savior defeated death
and brought us
the good news.
It shines like a light
and offers life
that never ends.
11  t My work is to be a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher.t 12 This is why I am suffering now. But I am not ashamed! I know the one I have faith in, and I am sure he can guard until the last day what he has trusted me with.t 13 Now follow the example of the correct teaching I gave you, and let the faith and love of Christ Jesus be your model.

14 You have been trusted with a wonderful treasure. Guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit, who lives within us.

15 You know that everyone in Asia has turned against me, especially Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 I pray that the Lord will be kind to the family of Onesiphorus. He often cheered me up and wasn't ashamed of me when I was put in jail. 17 Then after he arrived in Rome, he searched everywhere until he found me. 18 I pray that the Lord Jesus will ask God to show mercy to Onesiphorus on the day of judgment. You know how much he helped me in Ephesus.
