圣灵明说,在后来的时候,必有人离弃真道,听从那引诱人的(邪)灵,和鬼魔的道理。
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
这是因为说谎之人的假冒。这等人的良心,如同被热铁烙惯了一般。
Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
凡神所造的物,都是好的。若感谢着领受,就没有一样可弃的。
For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
你若将这些事题醒弟兄们,便是基督耶稣的好执事,在真道的话语,和你向来所服从的善道上,得了教育。
If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
操练身体,益处还少。惟独敬虔,凡事都有益处。因有今生和来生的应许。
For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
这话是可信的,是十分可佩服的。
This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
那美好的仗我已经打过了。当跑的路我已经跑尽了。所信的道我已经守住了。
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
从此以后,有公义的冠冕为我存留,就是按着公义审判的主到了那日要赐给我的。不但赐给我,也赐给凡爱慕他显现的人。
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.
我已经打发推基古往以弗所去。
And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.
我初次申诉,没有人前来帮助,竟都离弃我。但愿这罪不归与他们。
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.
