聖經365恩典之旅

 

來7:1這麥基洗德，就是撒冷王，又是至高神的祭司，本是長遠為祭司的，他當亞伯拉罕殺敗諸王回來的時候，就迎接他，給他祝福。

來7:2亞伯拉罕也將自己所得來的，取十分之一給他，他頭一個名繙出來，就是仁義王，他又名撒冷王，就是平安王的意思。

來7:3他無父，無母，無族譜，無生之始，無命之終，乃是與神的兒子相似。

來7:4你們想一想，先祖亞伯拉罕，將自己所擄來上等之物取十分之一給他，這人是何等尊貴呢。

來7:5那得祭司職任的利未子孫，領命照例向百姓取十分之一，這百姓是自己的弟兄，雖是從亞伯拉罕身中生的，〔身原文作腰〕還是照例取十分之一。

來7:6獨有麥基洗德，不與他們同譜，倒收納亞伯拉罕的十分之一，為那蒙應許的亞伯拉罕祝福。

來7:7從來位分大的給位分小的祝福，這是駁不倒的理。

來7:8在這裡收十分之一的都是必死的人，但在那裡收十分之一的，有為他作見證的說：他是活的。

來7:9並且可說：那受十分之一的利未，也是藉著亞伯拉罕納了十分之一。

來7:10因為麥基洗德迎接亞伯拉罕的時候，利未已經在他先祖的身中。〔身原文作腰〕

來7:11從前百姓在利未人祭司職任以下受律法，倘若藉這職任能得完全，又何用另外興起一位祭司，照麥基洗德的等次，不照亞倫的等次呢。

來7:12祭司的職任既已更改，律法也必須更改。

來7:13因為這話所指的人，本屬別的支派，那支派裡從來沒有一人伺候祭壇。

來7:14我們的主分明是從猶大出來的，但這支派，摩西並沒有題到祭司。

來7:15倘若照麥基洗德的樣式，另外興起一位祭司來，我的話更是顯而易見的了。

來7:16他成為祭司，並不是照屬肉體的條例，乃是照無窮之生命的大能，〔無窮原文作不能毀壞〕

來7:17因為有給他作見證的說：『你是照著麥基洗德的等次永遠為祭司。』

來7:18先前的條例，因軟弱無益，所以廢掉了。

來7:19（律法原來一無所成）就引進了更美的指望，靠這指望我們便可以進到神面前。

來7:20再者，耶穌為祭司，並不是不起誓立的。

來7:21至於那些祭司，原不是起誓立的，只有耶穌是起誓立的，因為那立他的對他說：『主起了誓決不後悔，你是永遠為祭司。』

來7:22既是起誓立的，耶穌就作了更美之約的中保。

來7:23那些成為祭司的，數目本來多，是因為有死阻隔不能長久。

來7:24這位既是永遠常存的，他祭司的職任，就長久不更換。

來7:25凡靠著他進到神面前的人，他都能拯救到底，因為他是長遠活著，替他們祈求。

來7:26像這樣聖潔，無邪惡，無玷污，遠離罪人，高過諸天的大祭司，原是與我們合宜的。

來7:27他不像那些大祭司，每日必須先為自己的罪，後為百姓的罪獻祭，因為他只一次將自己獻上，就把這事成全了。

來7:28律法本是立軟弱的人為大祭司，但在律法以後起誓的話，是立兒子為大祭司，乃是成全到永遠的。

 

來8:1我們所講的事，其中第一要緊的，就是我們有這樣的大祭司，已經坐在天上至大者的右邊，

來8:2在聖所，就是真帳幕裡，作執事，這帳幕是主所支的，不是人所支的。

來8:3凡大祭司都是為獻禮物和祭物設立的，所以這位大祭司也必須有所獻的。

來8:4他若在地上，必不得為祭司，因為已經有照律法獻禮物的祭司。

來8:5他們供奉的事，本是天上事的形狀和影像，正如摩西將要造帳幕的時候，蒙神警戒他，說：『你要謹慎，作各樣的物件，都要照著在山上指示你的樣式。』

來8:6如今耶穌所得的職任是更美的，正如他作更美之約的中保，這約原是憑更美之應許立的。

來8:7那前約若沒有瑕疪，就無處尋求後約了。

來8:8所以主指著他的百姓說：〔或作所以主指前約的缺欠說〕『日子將到，我要與以色列家，和猶大家，另立新約。

來8:9不像我拉著他們祖宗的手，領他們出埃及的時候，與他們所立的約，因為他們不恆心守我的約，我也不理他們，這是主說的。』

來8:10主又說：『那些日子以後，我與以色列家所立的約乃是這樣，我要將我的律法放在他們裡面，寫在他們心上，我要作他們的神，他們要作我的子民。

來8:11他們不用各人教導自己的鄉鄰，和自己的弟兄，說：你該認識主，因為他們從最小的到至大的，都必認識我。

來8:12我要寬恕他們的不義，不再記念他們的罪愆。』

來8:13既說新約。就以前約為舊了。但那漸舊漸衰的，就必快歸無有了。

 

來9:1原來前約有禮拜的條例，和屬世界的聖幕。

來9:2因為有豫備的帳幕，頭一層叫作聖所，裡面有燈臺，桌子，和陳設餅。

來9:3第二幔子後，又有一層帳幕，叫作至聖所。

來9:4有金香爐，〔爐或作壇〕有包金的約櫃，櫃裡有盛嗎哪的金罐，和亞倫發過芽的杖，並兩塊約版。

來9:5櫃上面有榮耀的影罩著施恩座，〔施恩原文作蔽罪〕這幾件我現在不能一一細說。

來9:6這些物件既如此豫備齊了，眾祭司就常進頭一層帳幕，行拜神的禮。

來9:7至於第二層帳幕，惟有大祭司一年一次獨自進去，沒有不帶著血，為自己和百姓的過錯獻上。

來9:8聖靈用此指明，頭一層帳幕仍存的時候，進入至聖所的路還未顯明。

來9:9那頭一層帳幕作現今的一個表樣，所獻的禮物和祭物，就著良心說：都不能叫禮拜的人得以完全。

來9:10這些事連那飲食和諸般洗濯的規矩，都不過是屬肉體的條例，命定到振興的時候為止。

來9:11但現在基督已經來到，作了將來美事的大祭司，經過那更大更全備的帳幕，不是人手所造也不是屬乎這世界的。

來9:12並且不用山羊和牛犢的血，乃用自己的血，只一次進入聖所，成了永遠贖罪的事。

來9:13若山羊和公牛的血，並母牛犢的灰，灑在不潔的人身上，尚且叫人成聖，身體潔淨。

來9:14何況基督藉著永遠的靈，將自己無瑕無疵獻給神，他的血豈不更能洗淨你們的心〔原文作良心〕除去你們的死行，使你們事奉那永生神麼。

來9:15為此他作了新約的中保，既然受死贖了人在前約之時所犯的罪過，便叫蒙召之人得著所應許永遠的產業。

來9:16凡有遺命，必須等到留遺命的人死了，〔遺命原文與約字同〕

來9:17因為人死了，遺命才有效力，若留遺命的尚在，那遺命還有用處麼。

來9:18所以前約也不是不用血立的。

來9:19因為摩西當日照著律法，將各樣誡命傳給眾百姓，就拿朱紅色絨和牛膝草，把牛犢山羊的血和水，灑在書上，又灑在眾百姓身上，說：

來9:20『這血就是神與你們立約的憑據。』

來9:21他又照樣把血灑在帳幕，和各樣器皿上。

來9:22按著律法，凡物差不多都是用血潔淨的，若不流血，罪就不得赦免了。

來9:23照著天上樣式作的物件，必須用這些祭物去潔淨，但那天上的本物，自然當用更美的祭物去潔淨。

來9:24因為基督並不是進了人手所造的聖所，（這不過是真聖所的影像）乃是進了天堂，如今為我們顯在神面前。

來9:25也不是多次將自己獻上，像那大祭司每年帶著牛羊的血進入聖所，〔牛羊的血原文作不是自己的血〕

來9:26如果這樣，他從創世以來，就必多次受苦了，但如今在這末世顯現一次，把自己獻為祭，好除掉罪。

來9:27按著定命，人人都有一死，死後且有審判。

7 This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him, 2 and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, the name Melchizedek means “king of righteousness”; then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.” 3 Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever.

 

4 Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder! 5 Now the law requires the descendants of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their fellow Israelites—even though they also are descended from Abraham. 6 This man, however, did not trace his descent from Levi, yet he collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises. 7 And without doubt the lesser is blessed by the greater. 8 In the one case, the tenth is collected by people who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living. 9 One might even say that Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham, 10 because when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the body of his ancestor.

 

Jesus Like Melchizedek

11 If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood—and indeed the law given to the people established that priesthood—why was there still need for another priest to come, one in the order of Melchizedek, not in the order of Aaron? 12 For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed also. 13 He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, and no one from that tribe has ever served at the altar. 14 For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests. 15 And what we have said is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears, 16 one who has become a priest not on the basis of a regulation as to his ancestry but on the basis of the power of an indestructible life. 17 For it is declared:

 

“You are a priest forever,

    in the order of Melchizedek.”[a]

18 The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless 19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.

 

20 And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath, 21 but he became a priest with an oath when God said to him:

 

“The Lord has sworn

    and will not change his mind:

    ‘You are a priest forever.’”[b]

22 Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant.

 

23 Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office; 24 but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. 25 Therefore he is able to save completely[c] those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.

 

 

The High Priest of a New Covenant

8 Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, 2 and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being.

 

3 Every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer. 4 If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law. 5 They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”[a] 6 But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises.

 

7 For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. 8 But God found fault with the people and said[b]:

 

“The days are coming, declares the Lord,

    when I will make a new covenant

with the people of Israel

    and with the people of Judah.

9 It will not be like the covenant

    I made with their ancestors

when I took them by the hand

    to lead them out of Egypt,

because they did not remain faithful to my covenant,

    and I turned away from them,

declares the Lord.

10 This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel

    after that time, declares the Lord.

I will put my laws in their minds

    and write them on their hearts.

I will be their God,

    and they will be my people.

11 No longer will they teach their neighbor,

    or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’

because they will all know me,

    from the least of them to the greatest.

12 For I will forgive their wickedness

    and will remember their sins no more.”[c]

13 By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.

門1:10就是為我在捆鎖中所生的兒子阿尼西母〔此名就是有益處的意思〕求你。                        

門1:11他從前與你沒有益處，但如今與你我都有益處。                        

門1:12我現在打發他親自回你那裡去，他是我心上的人。

門1:15他暫時離開你，或者是叫你永遠得著他。                        

門1:16不再是奴僕，乃是高過奴僕，是親愛的兄弟，在我實在是如此，何況在你呢。這也不拘是按肉體說：是按主說：

門1:18他若虧負你，或欠你甚麼，都歸在我的賬上。

門1:24與我同工的馬可，亞里達古，底馬，路加，也都問你安。                        

PhilemonNew International Version (NIV)

 

1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother,

 

To Philemon our dear friend and fellow worker— 2 also to Apphia our sister and Archippus our fellow soldier—and to the church that meets in your home:

 

3 Grace and peace to you[a] from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

Thanksgiving and Prayer

4 I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers, 5 because I hear about your love for all his holy people and your faith in the Lord Jesus. 6 I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ. 7 Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the Lord’s people.

 

Paul’s Plea for Onesimus

8 Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do, 9 yet I prefer to appeal to you on the basis of love. It is as none other than Paul—an old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus— 10 that I appeal to you for my son Onesimus,[b] who became my son while I was in chains. 11 Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.

 

12 I am sending him—who is my very heart—back to you. 13 I would have liked to keep him with me so that he could take your place in helping me while I am in chains for the gospel. 14 But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that any favor you do would not seem forced but would be voluntary. 15 Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back forever— 16 no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a dear brother. He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a fellow man and as a brother in the Lord.

 

17 So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. 18 If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me. 19 I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand. I will pay it back—not to mention that you owe me your very self. 20 I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ. 21 Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.

 

22 And one thing more: Prepare a guest room for me, because I hope to be restored to you in answer to your prayers.

 

23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings. 24 And so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my fellow workers.

 

多1:1神的僕人，耶穌基督的使徒保羅，憑著神選民的信心，與敬虔真理的知識，                        

多1:2盼望那無謊言的神，在萬古之先所應許的永生，                        

多1:3到了日期，藉著傳揚的工夫，把他的道顯明了，這傳揚的責任，是按著神我們救主的命令交託了我。                        

多1:4現在寫信給提多，就是照著我們共信之道作我真兒子的，願恩惠平安，從父神和我們的救主基督耶穌歸與你。                        

多1:5我從前留你在革哩底，是要你將那沒有辦完的事都辦整齊了，又照我所吩咐你的，在各城設立長老。                        

多1:6若有無可指責的人，只作一個婦人的丈夫，兒女也是信主的，沒有人告他們是放蕩不服約束的，就可以設立。                        

多1:7監督既是神的管家，必須無可指責，不任性，不暴躁，不因酒滋事，不打人，不貪無義之財，                        

多1:8樂意接待遠人，好善，莊重，公平，聖潔，自持。                        

多1:9堅守所教真實的道理，就能將純正的教訓勸化人，又能把爭辯的人駁倒了。                        

多1:10因為有許多人不服約束，說虛空話，欺哄人，那奉割禮的，更是這樣。                        

多1:11這些人的口總要堵住，他們因貪不義之財，將不該教導的教導人，敗壞人的全家。                        

多1:12有革哩底人中的一個本地先知說：『革埋底人常說謊話，乃是惡獸，又饞又懶，』                        

多1:13這個見證是真的。所以你要嚴嚴的責備他們，使他們在真道上純全無疵。                        

多1:14不聽猶太人荒渺的言語，和離棄真道之人的誡命。                        

多1:15在潔淨的人，凡物都潔淨，在污穢不信的人，甚麼都不潔淨，連心地和天良，也都污穢了。                        

多1:16他們說是認識神，行事卻和他相背，本是可憎惡的，是悖逆的，在各樣的善事上是可廢棄的。                        

 

多2:1但你所講的，總要合乎那純正的道理。                        

多2:2勸老年人，要有節制，端莊，自守，在信心愛心忍耐上，都要純全無疵。                        

多2:3又勸老年婦人，舉止行動要恭敬，不說讒言，不給酒作奴僕，用善道教訓人。                        

多2:4好指教少年婦人，愛丈夫，愛兒女，                        

多2:5謹守，貞潔，料理家務，待人有恩，順服自己的丈夫，免得神的道理被毀謗。                        

多2:6又勸少年人要謹守。                        

多2:7你自己凡事要顯出善行的榜樣，在教訓上要正直，端莊，                        

多2:8言語純全，無可指責，叫那反對的人，既無處可說我們的不是，便自覺羞愧。                        

多2:9勸僕人要順服自己的主人，凡事討他的喜歡，不可頂撞他。                        

多2:10不可私拿東西，要顯為忠誠，以致凡事尊榮我們救主神的道。                        

多2:11因為神救眾人的恩典，已經顯明出來，                        

多2:12教訓我們除去不敬虔的心，和世俗的情慾，在今世自守，公義，敬虔度日。                        

多2:13等候所盼望的福，並等候至大的神，和〔或作無和字〕我們救主耶穌基督的榮耀顯現。                        

多2:14他為我們捨了自己，要贖我們脫離一切罪惡，又潔淨我們，特作自己的子民，熱心為善。                        

 

1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ to further the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness— 2 in the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time, 3 and which now at his appointed season he has brought to light through the preaching entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior,

 

4 To Titus, my true son in our common faith:

 

Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.

 

Appointing Elders Who Love What Is Good

5 The reason I left you in Crete was that you might put in order what was left unfinished and appoint[a] elders in every town, as I directed you. 6 An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe[b] and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient. 7 Since an overseer manages God’s household, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. 8 Rather, he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. 9 He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.

 

Rebuking Those Who Fail to Do Good

 

Doing Good for the Sake of the Gospel

2 You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine. 2 Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.

 

3 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. 4 Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.

 

6 Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. 7 In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness 8 and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.

 

9 Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, 10 and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.

 

11 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

 

 

Saved in Order to Do Good

3 Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, 2 to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone.

 

3 At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. 8 This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.

 

9 But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless. 10 Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them. 11 You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful; they are self-condemned.

 

Final Remarks

12 As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to winter there. 13 Do everything you can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way and see that they have everything they need. 14 Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives.

 

15 Everyone with me sends you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith.

提後1:10但如今藉著我們救主基督耶穌的顯現，才表明出來了。他已經把死廢去，藉著福音，將不能壞的生命彰顯出來。                       

提後1:11我為這福音奉派作傳道的，作使徒，作師傅。                       

提後1:12為這緣故，我也受這些苦難，然而我不以為恥，因為知道我所信的是誰，也深信他能保全我所交付他的，〔或作他所交託我的〕直到那日。                       

提後1:13你從我聽的那純正話語的規模，要用在基督耶穌裡的信心和愛心，常常守著。                       

提後1:14從前所交託你的善道，你要靠著那住在我們裡面的聖靈，牢牢的守著。                       

提後1:15凡在亞西亞的人都離棄我，這是你知道的，其中有腓吉路和黑摩其尼。                       

提後1:16願主憐憫阿尼色弗一家的人，因他屢次使我暢快，不以我的鎖鍊為恥。                       

提後1:17反倒在羅馬的時候，殷勤的找我，並且找著了。                       

提後1:18願主使他在那日得主的憐憫，他在以弗所怎樣多多的服事我，是你明明知道的。                       

 

提後2:1我兒阿，你要在基督耶穌的恩典上剛強起來。                       

提後2:2你在許多見證人面前聽見我所教訓的，也要交託那忠心能教導別人的人。                       

提後2:3你要和我同受苦難，好像基督耶穌的精兵。                       

提後2:4凡在軍中當兵的，不將世務纏身，好叫那招他當兵的人喜悅。                       

提後2:5人若在埸上比武，非按規矩，就不能得冠冕。                       

提後2:6勞力的農夫，理當先得糧食。                       

提後2:7我所說的話你要思想，因為凡事主必給你聰明。                       

提後2:8你要記念耶穌基督乃是大衛的後裔，他從死裡復活，正合乎我所傳的福音。                       

提後2:9我為這福音受苦難，甚至被捆綁，像犯人一樣，然而神的道，卻不被捆綁。                       

提後2:10所以我為選民凡事忍耐，叫他們也可以得著那在基督耶穌裡的救恩，和永遠的榮耀。                       

提後2:11有可信的話說：我們若與基督同死，也必與他同活。                       

提後2:12我們若能忍耐，也必和他一同作王，我們若不認他，他也必不認我們。                       

提後2:13我們縱然失信，他仍是可信的，因為他不能背乎自己。                       

提後2:14你要使眾人回想這些事，在主面前囑咐他們，不可為言語爭辯，這是沒有益處的，只能敗壞聽見的人。                       

提後2:15你當竭力，在神面前得蒙喜悅，作無愧的工人，按著正意分解真理的道。                       

提後2:16但要遠避世俗的虛談，因為這等人必進到更不敬虔的地步。                       

提後2:17他們的話如同毒瘡，越爛越大，其中有許米乃和腓理徒。                       

提後2:18他們偏離了真道，說復活的事已過，就敗壞好些人的信心。                       

提後2:19然而神堅固的根基立住了，上面有這印記說：主認識誰是他的人，又說：凡稱呼主名的人，總要離開不義。                       

提後2:20在大戶人家，不但有金器銀器，也有木器瓦器，有作為貴重的，有作為卑賤的。                       

提後2:21人若自潔，脫離卑賤的事，就必作貴重的器皿，成為聖潔，合乎主用，豫備行各樣的善事。                       

提後2:22你要逃避少年的私慾，同那清心禱告主的人追求公義，信德，仁愛，和平。                       

提後2:23惟有那愚拙無學問的辯論，總要棄絕，因為知道這等事是起爭競的。                       

提後2:24然而主的僕人不可爭競，只要溫溫和和的待眾人，善於教導，存心忍耐，                       

提後2:25用溫柔勸戒那抵擋的人，或者神給他們悔改的心，可以明白真道。                       

提後2:26叫他們這已經被魔鬼任意擄去的，可以醒悟，脫離他的網羅。                       

 

提後3:1你該知道，末世必有危險的日子來到。                       

提後3:2因為那時人要專顧自己，貪愛錢財，自誇，狂傲，謗讟，違背父母，忘恩負義，心不聖潔，                       

提後3:3無親情，不解怨，好說讒言，不能自約，性情兇暴，不愛良善，                       

提後3:4賣主賣友，任意妄為，自高自大，愛宴樂不愛神。                       

提後3:5有敬虔的外貌，卻背了敬虔的實意，這等人你要躲開。                       

提後3:6那偷進人家，牢籠無知婦女的，正是這等人，這些婦女擔負罪惡，被各樣的私慾引誘。                       

提後3:7常常學習，終久不能明白真道。                       

提後3:8從前雅尼和佯庇怎樣敵擋摩西，這等人也怎樣敵擋真道，他們的心地壞了，在真道上是可廢棄的。                       

提後3:9然而他們不能再這樣敵擋，因為他們的愚昧，必在眾人面前顯露出來，像那二人一樣。                       

提後3:10但你已經服從了我的教訓，品行，志向，信心，寬容，愛心，忍耐，                       

提後3:11以及我在安提阿，以哥念，路司得，所遭遇的逼迫，苦難，我所忍受是何等的逼迫，但從這一切苦難中，主都把我救出來了。                       

提後3:12不但如此，凡立志在基督耶穌裡敬虔度日的，也都要受逼迫。                       

提後3:13只是作惡的，和迷惑人的，必越久越惡，他欺哄人也被人欺哄。                       

提後3:14但你所學習的，所確信的，要存在心裡，因為你知道是跟誰學的。                       

提後3:15並且知道你是從小明白聖經，這聖經能使你因信基督耶穌有得救的智慧。                       

提後3:16聖經都是神所默示的，〔或作凡神所默示的聖經〕於教訓，督責，使人歸正，教導人學義，都是有益的。                       

提後3:17叫屬神的人得以完全，豫備行各樣的善事。                       

 

提後4:1我在神面前，並在將來審判活人死人的基督耶穌面前，憑著他的顯現和他的國度囑咐你。                       

提後4:2務要傳道，無論得時不得時，總要專心，並用百般的忍耐，各樣的教訓，責備人，警戒人，勸勉人。                       

提後4:3因為時候要到，人必厭煩純正的道理，耳朵發癢，就隨從自己的情慾，增添好些師傅。                       

提後4:4並且掩耳不聽真道，偏向荒渺的言語。                       

提後4:5你卻要凡事謹慎，忍受苦難，作傳道的工夫，盡你的職份。                       

提後4:6我現在被澆奠，我離世的時候到了。                       

提後4:7那美好的仗我已經打過了，當跑的路我已經跑盡了，所信的道我已經守住了。                       

提後4:8從此以後，有公義的冠冕為我存留，就是按著公義審判的主到了那日要賜給我的，不但賜給我，也賜給凡愛慕他顯現的人。                       

提後4:9你要趕緊的到我這裡來。                       

提後4:10因為底馬貪愛現今的世界，就離棄我往帖撒羅尼迦去了，革勒士往加拉太去，提多往撻馬太去。                       

提後4:11獨有路加在我這裡。你來的時候要把馬可帶來，因為他在傳道的事上於我有益處。〔傳道或作服事我〕                       

提後4:12我已經打發推基古往以弗所去。                       

提後4:13我在特羅亞留於加布的那件外衣，你來的時候可以帶來，那些書也要帶來，更是要緊的是那些皮卷。                       

提後4:14銅匠亞力山大多多的害我，主必照他所行的報應他。                       

提後4:15你也要防備他，因為他極力敵擋了我們的話。                       

提後4:16我初次申訴，沒有人前來幫助，竟都離棄我，但願這罪不歸與他們。                       

提後4:17惟有主站在我旁邊，加給我力量，使福音被我盡都傳明，叫外邦人都聽見，我也從獅子口裡被救出來。                       

提後4:18主必救我脫離諸般的兇惡，也必救我進他的天國。願耀歸給他，直到永永遠遠。阿們。                       

提後4:19問百基拉，亞居拉，和阿尼色弗一家的人安。                       

提後4:20以拉都在哥林多住下了。特羅非摩病了，我就留他在米利都。                       

提後4:21你要趕緊在冬天以前到我這裡來。有友布羅，布田，利奴，革老底亞和眾弟兄，都問你安。                       

 

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, in keeping with the promise of life that is in Christ Jesus,

 

2 To Timothy, my dear son:

 

Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

Thanksgiving

3 I thank God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers. 4 Recalling your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be filled with joy. 5 I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.

 

Appeal for Loyalty to Paul and the Gospel

6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. 8 So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God. 9 He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, 10 but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. 11 And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher. 12 That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day.

 

13 What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus. 14 Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.

 

Examples of Disloyalty and Loyalty

15 You know that everyone in the province of Asia has deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.

 

 

The Appeal Renewed

2 You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. 3 Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer. 5 Similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victor’s crown except by competing according to the rules. 6 The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops. 7 Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this.

 

8 Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David. This is my gospel, 9 for which I am suffering even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But God’s word is not chained. 10 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.

 

11 Here is a trustworthy saying:

 

If we died with him,

    we will also live with him;

12 if we endure,

    we will also reign with him.

If we disown him,

    he will also disown us;

13 if we are faithless,

    he remains faithful,

    for he cannot disown himself.

Dealing With False Teachers

14 Keep reminding God’s people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen. 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. 16 Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. 17 Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, 18 who have departed from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some. 19 Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.”

 

20 In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. 21 Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.

 

3 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

 

6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.

 

A Final Charge to Timothy

 

4 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: 2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. 3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 5 But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.

 

6 For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

 

Personal Remarks

9 Do your best to come to me quickly, 10 for Demas, because he loved this world, has deserted me and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, because he is helpful to me in my ministry. 12 I sent Tychicus to Ephesus. 13 When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, and my scrolls, especially the parchments.

 

14 Alexander the metalworker did me a great deal of harm. The Lord will repay him for what he has done. 15 You too should be on your guard against him, because he strongly opposed our message.

 

16 At my first defense, no one came to my support, but everyone deserted me. May it not be held against them. 17 But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. And I was delivered from the lion’s mouth. 18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

 

Final Greetings

19 Greet Priscilla[a] and Aquila and the household of Onesiphorus. 20 Erastus stayed in Corinth, and I left Trophimus sick in Miletus. 21 Do your best to get here before winter. Eubulus greets you, and so do Pudens, Linus, Claudia and all the brothers and sisters.[b]

 

 

提前1:1奉我們救主神，和我們的盼望基督耶穌之命，作基督耶穌使徒的保羅，                        

提前1:2寫信給那因信主作我真兒子提摩太，願恩惠憐憫平安，從父神和我們主基督耶穌，歸與你。                        

提前1:3我往馬其頓去的時候，曾勸你仍住在以弗所，好囑咐那幾個人，不可傳異教，                        

提前1:4也不可聽從荒渺無憑的話語，和無窮的家譜，這等事只生辯論，並不發明神在信上所立章程。                        

提前1:5但命令的總歸就是愛，這愛是從清潔的心，和無虧的良心，無偽的信心，生出來的。                        

提前1:6有人偏離這些，反去講虛浮的話。                        

提前1:7想要作教法師，卻不明白自己所講說的，所論定的。                        

提前1:8我們知道律法原是好的，只要人用得合宜。                        

提前1:9因為律法不是為義人設立的，乃是為不法和不服的，不虔誠和犯罪的，不聖潔和戀世俗的，弒父母和殺人的，                        

提前1:10行淫和親男色的，搶人口和說謊話的，並起假誓的，或是為別樣敵正道的事設立的。                        

提前1:11這是照著可稱頌之神交託我榮耀福音說的。                        

提前1:12我感謝那給我力量的，我們主基督耶穌，因他以我有忠心，派我服事他。                        

提前1:13我從前是褻瀆神的，逼迫人的，侮慢人的，然而我還蒙了憐憫，因我是不信不明白的時候而作的。                        

提前1:14並且我主的恩是格外豐盛，使我在基督耶穌裡有信心和愛心。                        

提前1:15基督耶穌降世，為要拯救罪人，這話是可信的，是十分可佩服的，在罪人中我是個罪魁。                        

提前1:16然而我蒙了憐憫，是因耶穌基督要在我這罪魁身上，顯明他一切的忍耐，給後來信他得永生的人作榜樣。                        

提前1:17但願尊貴榮耀歸與那不能朽壞不能看見永世的君王，獨一的神，直到永永遠遠。阿們。                        

提前1:18我兒提摩太阿，我照從前指著你的豫言，將這命令交託你，叫你因此可以打那美好的仗。                        

提前1:19常存信心，和無虧的良心，有人丟棄良心，就在真道上如同船破壞了一般。                        

提前1:20其中有許米乃和亞力山大，我已經把他們交給撒但，使他們受責罰，就不再謗瀆了。                        

 

提前2:1我勸你第一要為萬人懇求，禱告，代求，祝謝。                        

提前2:2為君王和一切在位的也該如此，使我們可以敬虔端正，平安無事的度日。                        

提前2:3這是好的，在神我們救主面前可蒙悅納。                        

提前2:4他願意萬人得救，明白真道。                        

提前2:5因為只有一位神，在神和人中間，只有一位中保，乃是降世為人的基督耶穌。                        

提前2:6他捨自己作萬人的贖價，到了時候，這事必證明出來。                        

提前2:7我為此奉派，作傳道的，作使徒，作外邦人的師傅，教導他們相信，學習真道。我說的是真話，並不是謊言。                        

提前2:8我願男人無忿怒，無爭論，〔爭論或作疑惑〕舉起聖潔的手，隨處禱告。                        

提前2:9又願女人廉恥，自守，以正派衣裳為妝飾，不以編髮，黃金，珍珠，和貴價的衣裳為妝飾。                        

提前2:10只要有善行，這才與自稱是敬神的女人相宜。                        

提前2:11女人要沉靜學道，一味的順服。                        

提前2:12我不許女人講道，也不許他轄管男人，只要沉靜。                        

提前2:13因為先造的是亞當，後造的是夏娃。                        

提前2:14且不是亞當被引誘，乃是女人被引誘，陷在罪裡。                        

 

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,

 

2 To Timothy my true son in the faith:

 

Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

Timothy Charged to Oppose False Teachers

3 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer 4 or to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. Such things promote controversial speculations rather than advancing God’s work—which is by faith. 5 The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. 6 Some have departed from these and have turned to meaningless talk. 7 They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.

 

8 We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. 9 We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine 11 that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.

 

The Lord’s Grace to Paul

12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service. 13 Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief. 14 The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

 

15 Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. 16 But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. 17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

 

The Charge to Timothy Renewed

 

Instructions on Worship

2 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. 7 And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles.

 

8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing. 9 I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.
