3我日夜不停地為你禱告，對我效法祖先用清潔的良心事奉的上帝充滿了感恩。4每逢想起你流淚的情形，我就渴望見你，好使我的心充滿喜樂。5我記得你那真誠無偽的信心。你外祖母羅以和你母親友妮基首先有了這信心，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時賜給你的恩賜充分發揮出來。7因為上帝賜給我們的不是懦弱的心，而是剛強、仁愛、自律的心。8所以，你不要羞於為我們的主做見證，也不要以我這為主被囚的人為恥，要靠著上帝的能力和我一同為福音受苦。9上帝拯救了我們，並呼召我們過聖潔的生活，不是因為我們的行為，而是出於祂的旨意和恩典。早在萬古以前，祂就在基督耶穌裡把這恩典賜給我們了，10如今藉著我們救主基督耶穌的降世顯明了出來。基督已經消滅了死亡，藉著福音將不朽的生命彰顯了出來。11我為了這福音受委派做傳道人、使徒和教師。12我因此而遭受這些苦難，但我不以為恥，因為我知道我所信的是誰，也深信祂能保守祂所託付我的*，一直到那日*。13你要以在基督耶穌裡的信心和愛心，把從我這裡聽到的正確教導當作典範遵守，14要靠著住在我們裡面的聖靈牢牢守住交託給你的美善之道。15你知道幾乎所有亞細亞的人都離棄了我，其中包括腓吉路和黑摩其尼。16願主憐憫阿尼色弗一家人，他常常鼓勵我，不以我被囚禁為恥。17他在羅馬的時候千方百計尋訪我的下落，直到找著我為止。18你很清楚，他從前在以弗所怎樣在各個方面服侍我。願主再來時格外地憐憫他。

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.
