- 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:
|
- 奉我们救主神,和我们的盼望基督耶稣之命,作基督耶稣使徒的保罗,
- 写信给那因信主作我真儿子的提摩太。愿恩惠怜悯平安,从父神和我们主基督耶稣,归与你。
- 我往马其顿去的时候,曾劝你仍住在以弗所,好嘱咐那几个人,不可传异教,
- 也不可听从荒渺无凭的话语,和无穷的家谱。这等事只生辩论,并不发明神在信上所立的章程。
- 但命令的总归就是爱。这爱是从清洁的心,和无亏的良心,无伪的信心,生出来的。
