- Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus,
- To Timothy, my beloved son: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
- I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience the way my forefathers did, as I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day,
- longing to see you, even as I recall your tears, so that I may be filled with joy.
- For I am mindful of the sincere faith within you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am sure that it is in you as well.

- 奉神旨意,照着在基督耶稣里生命的应许,作基督耶稣使徒的保罗,
- 写信给我亲爱的儿子提摩太。愿恩惠怜悯平安,从父神和我们主基督耶稣,归与你。
- 我感谢神,就是我接续祖先,用清洁的良心所事奉的神,祈祷的时候,不住的想念你,
- 记念你的眼泪,昼夜切切的想要见你,好叫我满心快乐。
- 想到你心里无伪之信。这信是先在你外祖母罗以,和你母亲友尼基心里的。我深信也在你的心里。
