For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
因为 神赐给我们不是胆怯的心，乃是刚强、仁爱、谨守的心。

So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God,
你不要以给我们的主作见证为耻，也不要以我这为主被囚的为耻。总要按 神的能力，与我为福音同受苦难。

That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day.

提后2:3
Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

提后2:11
Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with him, we will also live with him;
有可信的话说：“我们若与基督同死，也必与他同活；
提后2:12
if we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us;
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；
提后2:13
if we are faithless, he will remain faithful, for he cannot disown himself.
我们纵然失信，他仍是可信的，因为他不能背乎自己。”
提后2:14
Keep reminding them of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen.
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，这是没有益处的，只能败坏听见的人。

In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for noble purposes and some for ignoble.
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。

然而主的仆人不可争竞；只要温温和和地待众人，善于教导，存心忍耐，

Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth,
用温柔劝戒那抵挡的人，或者 神给他们悔改的心，可以明白真道，

and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.
叫他们这已经被魔鬼任意掳去的，可以醒悟，脱离他的网罗。

People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
因为那时人要专顾自己、贪爱钱财、自夸、狂傲、谤渎、违背父母、忘恩负义、心不圣洁、

treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God–

having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

提后3:7
always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth.
常常学习，终久不能明白真道。
提后3:8
Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth–men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected.
从前雅尼和佯庇怎样敌挡摩西，这等人也怎样敌挡真道。他们的心地坏了，在真道上是可废弃的。
提后3:9
But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.
然而他们不能再这样敌挡，因为他们的愚昧必在众人面前显露出来，像那二人一样。
提后3:10
You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance,
但你已经服从了我的教训、品行、志向、信心、宽容、爱心、忍耐，

persecutions, sufferings–what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them.
以及我在安提阿、以哥念、路司得所遭遇的逼迫、苦难。我所忍受是何等的逼迫！但从这一切苦难中，主都把我救出来了。

In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
不但如此，凡立志在基督耶稣里敬虔度日的，也都要受逼迫。
提后3:13
while evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
只是作恶的和迷惑人的，必越久越恶，他欺哄人，也被人欺哄。
提后3:14
But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,
但你所学习的、所确信的，要存在心里，因为你知道是跟谁学的。
提后3:15
and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
并且知道你是从小明白圣经；这圣经能使你因信基督耶稣有得救的智慧。
提后3:16
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
圣经都是 神所默示的（或作“凡 神所默示的圣经”），于教训、督责、使人归正、教导人学义都是有益的，

so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
叫属 神的人得以完全，预备行各样的善事。
