You need not be afraid of them, because I am with you. I will save you,’ he said. Jeremiah 1:8
你不要懼怕他們， 因為我與你同在， 要拯救你。 這是耶和華說的。 耶利米書 1:8
I have worked to serve Christ well. I have finished everything that God wanted me to do. I am like a runner who has run to the end of the race. I have continued to believe God’s true message. So now a gift is waiting for me. The Lord will make me completely right and happy. That will be like a crown which the Lord will give me on that great day when he judges people. He is the judge who is fair and right. He will not only give that gift to me. He will give it to all those people who love him. They will be happy to see him when he comes again. 2 Timothy 4:7-8
那美好的仗我已經打過了，當跑的路我已經跑盡了，所信的道我已經守住了。 從此以後，有公義的冠冕為我存留，就是按着公義審判的主到了那日要賜給我的；不但賜給我，也賜給凡愛慕他顯現的人。 提摩太後書 4:7-8
Even when you were a child, you already knew the message of the Bible. The Bible has taught you how you can be really wise. You understand that God saves you because you believe in Christ Jesus. Everything that is written in the Bible comes from God’s Spirit. It helps us in many ways. The Bible teaches us what is true. It warns us when we are doing wrong things. It shows us what is right. It teaches us how to live good lives. As a result, people who want to serve God can know how to live properly. They will be people who can do all kinds of good things. 2 Timothy 3:15-17
並且知道你是從小明白聖經，這聖經能使你因信基督耶穌，有得救的智慧。 聖經都是上帝所默示的，於教訓、督責、使人歸正、教導人學義都是有益的， 叫屬上帝的人得以完全，預備行各樣的善事。 提摩太後書 3:15-17
As the Lord’s servant, you must not quarrel. Instead, you must be kind to everyone. You must be able to teach them well. And you must be patient when people cause you to have trouble. When people speak against God’s true message, teach them carefully. Help them to understand what is right. Maybe God will change how they think so that they believe the true message. Their minds will start to think clearly. It is the Devil who has made them believe wrong things. He has made them do what he wants. Now they can get free from his power. 2 Timothy 2:24-26
然而主的僕人不可爭競，只要溫溫和和地待眾人，善於教導，存心忍耐， 用溫柔勸戒那抵擋的人；或者上帝給他們悔改的心，可以明白真道， 叫他們這已經被魔鬼任意擄去的，可以醒悟，脫離他的網羅。 提摩太後書 2:24-26
We all know that this is true: ‘If we have died with Christ in this world, we will also live with him in the future world. If we continue to be strong during troubles here, we will also rule with him there in heaven. But if we say that we do not know Christ, he will also say that he does not know us. Even if we no longer trust him, he will still be someone that people can trust. He will always remain true to his nature.’ 2 Timothy 2:11-13
有可信的話說： 我們若與基督同死，也必與他同活； 我們若能忍耐，也必和他一同作王。 我們若不認他，他也必不認我們； 我們縱然失信，他仍是可信的， 因為他不能背乎自己。 提摩太後書 2:11-13
God is the one who has saved us. He has chosen us to serve him with good, clean lives. He did not save us because of any good things that we have done. He chose to do it because he is very kind. He decided to do that before time began, because of what Christ Jesus would do for us. Now Christ Jesus has come to save us, and we have seen how kind God is. Christ has destroyed death’s power over us. We have heard the good news that he brought to us. So now we understand about life with God for ever. 2 Timothy 1:9-10
上帝救了我們，以聖召召我們，不是按我們的行為，乃是按他的旨意和恩典；這恩典是萬古之先，在基督耶穌裏賜給我們的， 但如今藉着我們救主基督耶穌的顯現才表明出來了。他已經把死廢去，藉着福音，將不能壞的生命彰顯出來。
提摩太後書 1:9-10
Be strong like that, because God has given us his Spirit. And his Spirit does not cause us to be afraid. Instead, he causes us to be strong to serve God. He helps us to love God and other people. And he helps us to rule ourselves properly. 2 Timothy 1:7
因為上帝賜給我們，不是膽怯的心，乃是剛強、仁愛、謹守的心。 提摩太後書 1:7
Warn those people who are rich with many things that belong to this world. Tell them not to think that they are more important than other people. They must not think that their money will keep them safe. They could easily lose all of it. Instead, they should trust God. He gives us many things, so that we can enjoy all of them. 1 Timothy 6:17
你要囑咐那些今世富足的人，不要自高，也不要倚靠無定的錢財；只要倚靠那厚賜百物給我們享受的上帝。 提摩太前書 6:17
If we serve God and trust him, then our life is really rich. But we need to be happy with the things that we have. When we were born, we brought nothing with us into this world. When we die, we cannot take anything with us out of the world. So, if we have enough food and clothes, we should be happy with that. 1 Timothy 6:6-8
然而，敬虔加上知足的心便是大利了； 因為我們沒有帶甚麼到世上來，也不能帶甚麼去。 只要有衣有食，就當知足。
提摩太前書 6:6-8
So, if we have enough food and clothes, we should be happy with that. But some people want to have lots of money. This leads them to do wrong things. They are like fools when they want things for themselves. They cannot get free from their bad ways, which only hurt them. In the end, the bad thoughts of those people destroy their lives. When people like to have lots of money, that causes all kinds of bad things to happen. Some people have stopped believing the message about Christ because they just want to get more money. As a result, they have caused themselves to be very sad because they have many troubles. 1 Timothy 6:8-10
只要有衣有食，就當知足。 但那些想要發財的人，就陷在迷惑、落在網羅和許多無知有害的私慾裏，叫人沉在敗壞和滅亡中。 貪財是萬惡之根。有人貪戀錢財，就被引誘離了真道，用許多愁苦把自己刺透了。 提摩太前書 6:8-10
