当专一传道

我在神面前,并在将来审判活人死人的基督耶稣面前,凭着他的显现和他的国度嘱咐你: 务要传道,无论得时不得时总要专心;并用百般的忍耐、各样的教训责备人、警戒人、劝勉人。 因为时候要到,人必厌烦纯正的道理,耳朵发痒,就随从自己的情欲,增添好些师傅, 并且掩耳不听真道,偏向荒渺的言语。 你却要凡事谨慎,忍受苦难,做传道的工夫,尽你的职分。 我现在被浇奠,我离世的时候到了。

有公义的冠冕存留

那美好的仗我已经打过了,当跑的路我已经跑尽了,所信的道我已经守住了。 从此以后,有公义的冠冕为我存留,就是按着公义审判的主到了那日要赐给我的;不但赐给我,也赐给凡爱慕他显现的人。

你要赶紧地到我这里来。 10 因为底马贪爱现今的世界,就离弃我往帖撒罗尼迦去了;革勒士加拉太去,提多挞马太去; 11 独有路加在我这里。你来的时候,要把马可带来,因为他在传道[a]的事上于我有益处。 12 我已经打发推基古以弗所去。 13 我在特罗亚留于加布的那件外衣,你来的时候可以带来,那些书也要带来,更要紧的是那些皮卷。 14 铜匠亚历山大多多地害我,主必照他所行的报应他。 15 你也要防备他,因为他极力敌挡了我们的话。

蒙主力量传扬福音

16 我初次申诉,没有人前来帮助,竟都离弃我。但愿这罪不归于他们! 17 唯有主站在我旁边,加给我力量,使福音被我尽都传明,叫外邦人都听见;我也从狮子口里被救出来。 18 主必救我脱离诸般的凶恶,也必救我进他的天国。愿荣耀归给他,直到永永远远!阿门。

19 百基拉亚居拉阿尼色弗一家的人安。 20 以拉都哥林多住下了。特罗非摩病了,我就留他在米利都 21 你要赶紧在冬天以前到我这里来。有友布罗布田利奴克劳迪娅和众弟兄都问你安。

22 愿主与你的灵同在!愿恩惠常与你们同在!

务要传道

在上帝和审判活人死人的基督耶稣面前,我凭基督的显现和祂的国郑重嘱咐你: 无论时机好坏,都要坚持传道,以百般的忍耐和教导督责人,警戒人,勉励人。 因为有一天,人们会厌倦纯正的教导,耳朵发痒,寻找许多迎合他们私欲的老师。 他们掩耳不听真理,反而偏向无稽之谈。 然而,你要谨慎行事,不怕吃苦,专心传道,尽忠职守。

我的生命如同奉献在祭坛上的酒正倾倒出来,我离世的日子快要到了。 那美好的仗,我打过了;当跑的路,我跑完了;所信的道,我持守住了。 从此,有公义的冠冕为我预备,按公义审判的主会在祂来的那一天把它赐给我,不但会赐给我,也会赐给所有爱慕祂显现的人。

最后的嘱咐

请你尽快到我这里来, 10 因为底马贪爱世界,离弃我跑到帖撒罗尼迦去了。革勒士去了加拉太,提多去了挞马太, 11 只剩下路加一人在我身边。你要把马可一起带来,因为他在传道的工作上对我很有帮助。 12 至于推基古,我派他到以弗所去了。 13 你来的时候,要把我在特罗亚时留在加布的外衣带来,也要带来那些书卷,特别是那些羊皮卷。

14 铜匠亚历山大做了许多恶事害我,主必按他的所作所为报应他。 15 你也要提防他,因为他极力反对我们所传的道。

16 我第一次在法庭申辩的时候,没有人帮助我,众人都离弃了我,但愿他们不会因此而获罪。 17 然而主站在我身旁加给我力量,使我可以把福音清楚地传给外族人。主把我从狮子口里救了出来。 18 主必救我脱离一切凶险,带我进入祂的天国。愿荣耀归给上帝,直到永永远远。阿们!

问候

19 请代我问候百基拉和亚居拉,也问候阿尼色弗一家。 20 以拉都留在了哥林多,我把生病的特罗非摩留在了米利都。 21 你要尽快在冬天之前赶到这里来。友布罗、布田、利奴、革劳底亚和众弟兄姊妹都问候你。

22 愿主与你的灵同在!愿恩典与你们同在!

I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:

10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.

11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.

12 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.

13 The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.

14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:

15 Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.

16 At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.

17 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.

20 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.

21 Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.

22 The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
