3我日夜不停地为你祷告，对我效法祖先用清洁的良心事奉的上帝充满了感恩。4每逢想起你流泪的情形，我就渴望见你，好使我的心充满喜乐。5我记得你那真诚无伪的信心。你外祖母罗以和你母亲友妮基首先有了这信心，我深信你也有。6因此我提醒你，要把上帝在我把手按在你身上时赐给你的恩赐充分发挥出来。7因为上帝赐给我们的不是懦弱的心，而是刚强、仁爱、自律的心。8所以，你不要羞于为我们的主做见证，也不要以我这为主被囚的人为耻，要靠着上帝的能力和我一同为福音受苦。9上帝拯救了我们，并呼召我们过圣洁的生活，不是因为我们的行为，而是出于祂的旨意和恩典。早在万古以前，祂就在基督耶稣里把这恩典赐给我们了，10如今借着我们救主基督耶稣的降世显明了出来。基督已经消灭了死亡，借着福音将不朽的生命彰显了出来。11我为了这福音受委派做传道人、使徒和教师。12我因此而遭受这些苦难，但我不以为耻，因为我知道我所信的是谁，也深信祂能保守祂所托付我的*，一直到那日*。13你要以在基督耶稣里的信心和爱心，把从我这里听到的正确教导当作典范遵守，14要靠着住在我们里面的圣灵牢牢守住交托给你的美善之道。15你知道几乎所有亚细亚的人都离弃了我，其中包括腓吉路和黑摩其尼。16愿主怜悯阿尼色弗一家人，他常常鼓励我，不以我被囚禁为耻。17他在罗马的时候千方百计寻访我的下落，直到找着我为止。18你很清楚，他从前在以弗所怎样在各个方面服侍我。愿主再来时格外地怜悯他。

Guard the Deposit Entrusted to You
3I thank God whom I serve, as did my ancestors, with a clear conscience, as I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day.4As I remember your tears, I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy.5I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well.6For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands,7for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.8Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God,9who saved us and called us to* a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began,*10and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,11for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher,12which is why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that day what has been entrusted to me.*13Follow the pattern of the sound* words that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.14By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you.15You are aware that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.16May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains,17but when he arrived in Rome he searched for me earnestly and found me—18may the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on that day!—and you well know all the service he rendered at Ephesus.
