劳力的农夫、理当先得粮食。我所说的话你要思想．因为凡事主必给你聪明。
The farmers who labor must be the first to get a share of the crops. Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.
主耶稣！我相信, 凡事主必给我聪明, 主啊！我所要做的是, 要学习寻求圣灵的观点, 是否有忽略了神的荣耀, 是否有为他人的益处着想, 是否有损人利己的地方。

你要和我同受苦难、好象基督耶稣的精兵。凡在军中当兵的、不将世务缠身、好叫那招他当兵的人喜悦。人若在场上比武、非按规矩、就不能得冠冕。
You therefore must endure hardship, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier. Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he isn't crowned unless he has competed by the rules.
主耶稣！我晓得军中当兵的, 必须遵守纪律。参加竞赛的, 必须按规矩。他们都需要过高格调的节制生活。主啊！我自我审查, 发现我还需要在生活作息上提升纪律, 在饮食和休闲上加强节制, 做决定时, 要更多倚靠属天的法则。

我儿阿、你要在基督耶稣的恩典上刚强起来。你在许多见证人面前听见我所教训的、也要交托那忠心能教导别人的人。
You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.
主耶稣！我在问自己, 我是不是忠心能教导别人的人, 主啊！我明白了, 我必须是先成为一个虚心, 专心学习, 愿意受教的人, 才能够被塑造成忠心教导别人的人。

凡在亚西亚的人都离弃我、这是你知道的．其中有腓吉路和黑摩其尼。愿主怜悯阿尼色弗一家的人．因他屡次使我畅快、不以我的锁炼为耻．反倒在罗马的时候、殷勤的找我、并且找着了。
This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain, but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me.
主耶稣！我看到阿尼色弗对使徒保罗, 真实的爱心, 当众人都离开, 避开保罗, 他却是四处寻找保罗。我想到神不离不弃的爱。主啊！我也要像阿尼色弗, 真心待敬畏神的仆人。

Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in.
主耶稣！常常的守着, 牢牢的守着, 这二句话, 特别的显眼。主啊！经上清楚的教导, 我要用在基督耶稣里的信心和爱心, 常常守着神的话。我也要靠着那住在我们里面的圣灵, 牢牢的守着神的道, 叫真理生活化, 一生都竭力活出信靠神的信心, 荣神盖人的爱心。

为这缘故、我也受这些苦难．然而我不以为耻．因为知道我所信的是谁、也深信他能保全他所交托我的直到那日。
For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.
主耶稣！我知道所信的真道, 祢是基督, 救世主, 承担我一切的罪孽, 医治我一切的疾病, 赐给我永生的生命。我深信祢能保全所交托我的思赐, 才能, 家庭, 天国的事业。主啊！我所要做的是忠心服事, 良善待人, 与家人彼些切实相爱。

你不要以给我们的主作见证为耻、也不要以我这为主被囚的为耻．总要按神的能力、与我为福音同受苦难．神救了我们、以圣召召我们、不是按我们的行为、乃是按他的旨意、和恩典．这恩典是万古之先、在基督耶稣里赐给我们的．
Therefore don't be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God, who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal.
主耶稣！按神的旨意和恩典, 以圣召召了我们。我的心充满感恩, 我拥有的一切, 我为福音, 可以作的, 能够作的, 应该作的, 都是在基督耶稣里赐给我的, 都是恩典。主啊！我愿意与祢同受苦难。

For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
主耶稣！我在思想, 祢面对十字架的画面, 受尽折打, 鞭伤, 痛苦, 死亡, 祢勇敢面对, 并没有求神差派天使来拯救。主啊！我求圣灵充满, 叫我面对困境, 艰难, 威吓, 生命危险时, 心中有神所赐的平安。

I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day, longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy; having been reminded of the sincere faith that is in you; which lived first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and, I am persuaded, in you also.

Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called; which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.

Charge those who are rich in this present world that they not be haughty, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on the living God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy; that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate; laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life.
主耶稣！我的心充满感恩, 神造万物, 叫人可以在其中享乐。主啊！我要称颂那厚赐百物给我们享受的神, 我且要倚靠神, 积极的行善, 助人, 环保, 同时, 与人分享神的恩惠, 享受从神来的祝福。

但那些想要发财的人、就陷在迷惑、落在网罗、和许多无知有害的私欲里、叫人沉在败坏和灭亡中。贪财是万恶之根．有人贪恋钱财、就被引诱离了真道、用许多愁苦把自己刺透了。
But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
主耶稣！经上说, 耶和华所赐的福, 使人富足, 并不加上忧虑。丰富尊荣在我, 恒久的财并公义也在我。使爱我的承受货财, 并充满他们的府库。主啊！我相信神会在金钱上的祝福, 我要专注的是, 追求爱神的命令, 和法则, 脱离贪爱钱财的心思。

If anyone teaches a different doctrine, and doesn't consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness. he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, insulting, evil suspicions, constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. Withdraw yourself from such.
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
主耶稣！我在思想, 敬虔加上知足的心, 他们的心志, 心态, 生活作息, 会是怎样的？我想起, 经上说, 在神我们的父面前, 那清洁没有玷污的虔诚, 就是看顾在患难中的孤儿寡妇, 并且保守自己不沾染世俗。主啊！求主加添我怜悯, 谦卑的心, 行善不丧志的心。

Let as many as are bondservants under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine not be blasphemed. Those who have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brothers, but rather let them serve them, because those who partake of the benefit are believing and beloved.
