KJV · King James Version
1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. 6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
9 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me: 10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry. 12 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus. 13 The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments. 14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works: 15 Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words. 16 At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. 17 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. 18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. 20 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick. 21 Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren. 22 The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
The second epistle unto Timotheus, ordained the first bishop of the church of the Ephesians, was written from Rome, when Paul was brought before Nero the second time.

务要传道
1 我在 神面前，并且在那将要审判活人死人的基督耶稣面前，凭着他的显现和国度叮嘱你：2 务要传道；无论时机是否适合，都要常作准备；要以多方的忍耐和教训责备人、警戒人、劝勉人。3 因为时候快要到了，人必容不下纯正的道理，反而耳朵发痒，随着自己的私欲，增添许多教师，4 而且转离不听真理，反倒趋向无稽之谈。5 你却要凡事谨慎，忍受磨难、作传福音者的工作，完成你的职务。
6 我已经被浇奠；我离世的时候也到了。7 那美好的仗我已经打过了，当跑的路我已经跑尽了，所持的信仰我已经守住了。8 从此以后，有公义的冠冕为我存留，就是按公义审判的主在那日要赏给我的；不但赏给我，也赏给所有爱慕他显现的人。
最后的吩咐
9 你要尽快到我这里来。10 因为底马贪爱现今的世界，就离弃我到帖撒罗尼迦去了。革勒士去了加拉太，提多去了达马太。11 只有路加在我这里。你找到了马可，就把他带来，因为他在圣工上对我有益。12 我差派了推基古到以弗所去。13 我在特罗亚留在加布那里的外衣，你来的时候要把它带来，还有那些书卷，特别是那些羊皮卷，也要带来。14 铜匠亚历山大作了许多恶事陷害我，主必按着他所行的报应他。15 你也要提防他，因为他极力抵挡我们的话。
16 我第一次申辩的时候，没有一个人支持我，反而离弃我。但愿这罪不要归在他们身上。17 然而主站在我旁边，加给我力量，使福音的信息借着我尽都传开，万国的人都可以听见；他并且把我从狮子口中救出来。18 主必救我脱离一切邪恶的事，也必救我进入他天上的国。愿荣耀归给他，直到永永远远。阿们。
问候的话
19 问候百基拉、亚居拉和阿尼色弗一家的人。20 以拉都在哥林多住下了。特罗非摩病了，我就留他在米利都。21 你要赶紧在冬天以前到我这里来。友布罗、布田、利奴、革老底亚和众弟兄都问候你。22 主与你同在。愿恩惠与你们同在。
