7但你要棄絕世俗、荒誕的傳說，要訓練自己做個敬虔的人。8鍛煉體魄益處還少，敬虔生活受益無窮，擁有今生和永世的應許。9這話真實可信，值得完全接受。10我們努力奮鬥正是為了這個目的，因為我們的盼望在於永活的上帝。祂是全人類的救主，更是信徒的救主。11你要吩咐和教導這些事。12不要因為年輕而叫人小看你，總要在言語、行為、愛心、信心和純潔各方面做信徒的榜樣。13在我來之前，你要專心宣讀聖經，勉勵會眾，教導真理。14不要忽略你的恩賜，那是藉著預言在眾長老把手按在你身上時賜給你的。15你要全心全意地做這些事，讓大家都看到你的長進。16你要注意自己的言行和教導，要持之以恆。這樣，你不但能救自己，也能救那些聽你教導的人。
English Standard Version
Some Will Depart from the Faith
1Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,2through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared,3who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.4For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,5for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.
A Good Servant of Christ Jesus
6If you put these things before the brothers,* you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed.7Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness;8for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.9The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance.10For to this end we toil and strive,* because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.11Command and teach these things.12Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.13Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching.14Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophecy when the council of elders laid their hands on you.15Practice these things, immerse yourself in them,* so that all may see your progress.16Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.
