Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;
Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

奉我们救主神,和我们的盼望基督耶稣之命,作基督耶稣使徒的保罗,
写信给那因信主作我真儿子的提摩太。愿恩惠怜悯平安,从父神和我们主基督耶稣,归与你。
我往马其顿去的时候,曾劝你仍住在以弗所,好嘱咐那几个人,不可传异教,
也不可听从荒渺无凭的话语,和无穷的家谱。这等事只生辩论,并不发明神在信上所立的章程。
但命令的总归就是爱。这爱是从清洁的心,和无亏的良心,无伪的信心,生出来的。
