12我感谢赐我力量的主基督耶稣，因为祂视我忠心可靠，派我事奉祂。13尽管我从前是个亵渎上帝、迫害和侮辱信徒的人，但我仍然蒙了怜悯，因为那时我无知，还没有信耶稣。14主赐给我丰富的恩典，使我在基督耶稣里有信心和爱心。15有句话千真万确、完全可信，就是“基督耶稣降世，为要拯救罪人。”在罪人中我是个罪魁，16但我依然蒙了怜悯，因为耶稣基督要在我这个罪魁身上彰显祂无限的忍耐，使我做那些要信靠祂并得到永生之人的榜样。17愿尊贵、荣耀归给那位不朽的、肉眼不能见的万世君王——独一无二的上帝，直到永远。阿们！18我儿提摩太啊，我依照从前有关你的预言，把这命令托付给你，好使你借此打美好的仗。19你要持守信心和无亏的良心。有些人丧掉良心，结果他们的信仰就像船触了礁，20其中有许米乃和亚历山大。我已经把他们交给撒旦，使他们受些教训，不敢再说亵渎的话。

Greeting
1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,2To Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Warning Against False Teachers
3As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine,4nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship* from God that is by faith.5The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.6Certain persons, by swerving from these, have wandered away into vain discussion,7desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions.8Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully,9understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers,10the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers,* liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound* doctrine,11in accordance with the gospel of the glory of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.
Christ Jesus Came to Save Sinners
12I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his service,13though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief,14and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.15The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.16But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life.17To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever.* Amen.18This charge I entrust to you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with the prophecies previously made about you, that by them you may wage the good warfare,19holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting this, some have made shipwreck of their faith,20among whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme.
