提摩太后书 1

1 我保罗奉上帝的旨意，按照在基督耶稣里所应许的生命做基督耶稣的使徒，

2 写信给我亲爱的儿子提摩太。
愿父上帝和我们的主基督耶稣的恩典、怜悯和平安临到你！

勉励忠心事奉

3 我日夜不停地为你祷告，对我效法祖先用清洁的良心事奉的上帝充满了感恩。4 每逢想起你流泪的情形，我就渴望见你，好使我的心充满喜乐。5 我记得你那真诚无伪的信心。你外祖母罗以和你母亲友妮基首先有了这信心，我深信你也有。6 因此我提醒你，要把上帝在我把手按在你身上时赐给你的恩赐充分发挥出来。7 上帝赐给我们的不是懦弱的心，而是刚强、仁爱、自律的心。

8 所以，你不要羞于为我们的主做见证，也不要以我这为主被囚的人为耻，要靠着上帝的能力和我一同为福音受苦。9 上帝拯救了我们，并呼召我们过圣洁的生活，不是因为我们的行为，而是出于祂的旨意和恩典。早在万古以前，祂就在基督耶稣里把这恩典赐给我们了，10 如今借着我们救主基督耶稣的降世显明了出来。基督已经消灭了死亡，借着福音将不朽的生命彰显了出来。

11 我为了这福音受委派做传道人、使徒和教师。12 我因此而遭受这些苦难，但我不以为耻，因为我知道我所信的是谁，也深信祂能保守祂所托付我的t，一直到那日t。13 你要以在基督耶稣里的信心和爱心，把从我这里听到的正确教导当作典范遵守，14 要靠着住在我们里面的圣灵牢牢守住交托给你的美善之道。

15 你知道几乎所有亚细亚的人都离弃了我，其中包括腓吉路和黑摩其尼。16 愿主怜悯阿尼色弗一家人，他常常鼓励我，不以我被囚禁为耻。17 他在罗马的时候千方百计寻访我的下落，直到找着我为止。18 你很清楚，他从前在以弗所怎样在各个方面服侍我。愿主再来时格外地怜悯他。

Thanksgiving and Charge to Timothy

3 I am thankful to God, whom I have served with a clear conscience as my ancestors did,t when I remember you in my prayers as I do constantly night and day.t4 As I remember your tears, I long to see you,t so that I may be filled with joy.

5 I recallt your sincere faitht that was alive first in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice, and I am suret is in you.
6 Because of this I remind you to rekindle God’s gift that you possesst through the laying on of my hands.7 For God did not give us a Spiritt of fear but of power and love and self-control.8 So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lordt or of me, a prisoner for his sake, but byt God’s power accept your share of sufferingt for the gospel.9 He is the one who saved ust and called us with a holy calling, not based ont our works but on his own purpose and grace, granted to us in Christ Jesus before time began,t10 but now made visible through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus. Het has broken the power of death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel!11 For this gospelt I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher.s12 Because of this, in fact, I suffer as I do.t But I am not ashamed, because I know the one in whom my faith is sett and I am convinced that he is able to protect what has been entrusted to mes until that day.s13 Hold to the standardt of sound words that you heard from me and do so with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.ts

14 Protect that good things entrusted to you, through the Holy Spirit who lives within us.
15 You know that everyone in the province of Asiat deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.16 May the Lord grant mercy to the family of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my imprisonment.t17 But when he arrived in Rome,s he eagerly searched for me and found me.

18 May the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on that day!s And you know very well all the ways he served me in Ephesus.ts
