这些事你要殷勤去作,并要在此专心,使众人看出你的长进来。
Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
你要谨慎自己和自己的教训,要在这些事上恒心。因为这样行,又能救自己,又能救听你的人。
Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
我在神面前,并在将来审判活人死人的基督耶稣面前,凭着他的显现和他的国度嘱咐你。
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;
务要传道。无论得时不得时,总要专心,并用百般的忍耐,各样的教训,责备人,警戒人,劝勉人。
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
因为时候要到,人必厌烦纯正的道理。耳朵发痒,就随从自己的情欲,增添好些师傅。
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;
并且掩耳不听真道,偏向荒渺的言语。
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
我现在被浇奠,我离世的时候到了。
For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
你要赶紧的到我这里来。
Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:
因为底马贪爱现今的世界,就离弃我往帖撒罗尼迦去了。革勒士往加拉太去。提多往挞马太去。
For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.
独有路加在我这里。你来的时候要把马可带来。因为他在传道的事上于我有益处。(传道或作服事我)
Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.
