Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;
Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

奉我們救主 神、和我們的盼望基督耶穌之命、作基督耶穌使徒的保羅、
寫信給那因信主作我真兒子提摩太.願恩惠憐憫平安、從父 神和我們主基督耶穌、歸與你。
我往馬其頓去的時候、曾勸你仍住在以弗所、好囑咐那幾個人、不可傳異教、
也不可聽從荒渺無憑的話語、和無窮的家譜.這等事只生辯論、並不發明 神在信上所立章程。
但命令的總歸就是愛.這愛是從清潔的心、和無虧的良心、無偽的信心、生出來的。
