新约--提摩太后书(2 Timothy)--第 2 章
2:1 我儿阿，你要在基督耶稣的恩典上刚强起来。
Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2:2 你在许多见证人面前听见我所教训的，也要交托那忠心能教导别人的人。
And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
2:3 你要和我同受苦难，好像基督耶稣的精兵。
Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
2:4 凡在军中当兵的，不将世物缠身，好叫那招他当兵的人喜悦。
No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
2:5 人若在场上比武，非按规矩，就不能得冠冕。
And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
2:6 劳力的农夫，理当先得粮食。
The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
2:7 我所说的话你要思想。因为凡事主必给你聪明。
Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
2:8 你要记念耶稣基督乃是大卫的后裔。他从死里复活，正合乎我所传的福音。
Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
2:9 我为这福音受苦难，甚至被捆绑，像犯人一样。然而神的道，却不被捆绑。
Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
2:10 所以我为选民凡事忍耐，叫他们也可以得着那在基督耶稣的救恩，和永远的荣耀。
Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
2:11 有可信的话说，我们若与基督同死，也必与他同活。
It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
2:12 我们若能忍耐，也必和他一同作王。我们若不认他，他也必不认我们。
If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
2:13 我们纵然失信，他仍是可信的。因为他不能背乎自己。
If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
2:14 你要使众人回想这些事，在主面前嘱咐他们，不可为言语争辩。这事没有益处的，只能败坏听见的人。
Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
2:15 你当竭力，在神面前得蒙喜悦，作无愧的工人，按着正意分解真理的道。
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2:16 但要远避世俗的虚谈。因为这等人必进到更不敬虔的地步。
But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
2:17 他们的话如同毒疮，越烂越大。其中有许米乃和腓理徒。
And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
2:18 他们偏离了真道，说复活的事已过，就败坏好些人的信心。
Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
2:19 然而神坚固的根基立住了。上面有这印记说，主认识谁是他的人。又说，凡称呼主名的人，总要离开不义。
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
2:20 在大户人家，不但有金器银器，也有木器瓦器。有作为贵重的，有作为卑贱的。
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
2:21 人若自洁，脱离卑贱的事，就必作贵重的器皿，成为圣洁，合乎主用，豫备行各样的善事。
If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
2:22 你要逃避少年的私欲，同那清心祷告主的人追求公义，信德，仁爱，和平。
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
2:23 惟有那愚拙无学问的辩论，总要弃绝。因为知道这等事是起争竞的。
But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
2:24 然而主的仆人不可争竞，只要温温和和的待众人，善于教导，存心忍耐，
And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
2:25 用温柔劝戒那抵挡的人。或者给他们悔改的心，可以明白真道。
In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
2:26 叫他们这已经被魔鬼任意掳去的，可以醒悟，脱离他的网罗。
And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
