提摩太後書 1

問安

1 奉　神旨意，憑著在基督耶穌裡的生命的應許，作基督耶穌使徒的保羅，

2 寫信給親愛的兒子提摩太，願恩惠、憐憫、平安從父　神和我們的主基督耶穌臨到你。

為主作見證不要當作羞恥

3 我感謝　神，就是我像我祖先一樣，以清潔的良心所事奉的　神，在禱告中晝夜不斷地記念你；4 一想起你流的眼淚，我就渴望見你，好叫我滿有喜樂。5 我記得你心裡無偽的信心，這信心原先是在你外祖母羅以和你母親友尼基心裡的，我深信也在你的心裡。6 為了這緣故，我提醒你，要把　神藉著我按手給你的恩賜，像火一樣再挑旺起來。7 因為　神所賜給我們的，不是膽怯的靈，而是有能力、仁愛、自律的靈。8 所以，不要以給我們的主作見證當作羞恥，也不要以我這為主被囚的當作羞恥，卻要為了福音的緣故，靠著　神的大能，與我同受磨難。9 　神救了我們，以聖召呼召我們，不是按照我們的行為，卻是按照他自己的計劃和恩典；這恩典是在萬世以前，在基督耶穌裡賜給了我們的，10 但現在藉著我們救主基督耶穌的顯現，才表明出來。他廢掉了死亡，藉著福音把生命和不朽彰顯出來。11 為這福音，我被派作傳道的、使徒和教師。12 為了這緣故，我也受這些苦，但我不以為恥，因為我知道我所信的是誰，也深信他能保守我所交託他的，直到那日。13 你要靠著在基督耶穌裡的信心和愛心，常常堅守從我這裡聽過的話，作為純正話語的模範；

14 又要靠著那住在我們裡面的聖靈，保守所交託你的善道。
15 你知道所有在亞西亞的人都離棄了我，他們當中有腓吉路和黑摩其尼。16 願主賜憐憫給阿尼色弗一家的人，因為他多次使我暢快，也不以我的鎖鍊為恥；17 他竟然來到羅馬，迫切地尋找我，結果找到了。

18 你也清楚知道他在以弗所是怎樣多方服事我。

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
