¹预言日后有人背道

¹And the Spirit expressly speaketh, that in latter times shall certain fall away from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and teachings of demons,

²这教训是出于说谎的人的虚伪，他们的良心好像被烧红的铁烙了一般。

²in hypocrisy speaking lies, being seared in their own conscience,

³他们禁止嫁娶，禁戒食物。食物本是　神所造的，是给信主和认识真理的人存感谢的心领受的。

³forbidding to marry — to abstain from meats that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those believing and acknowledging the truth,

⁴因为凡　神所造的，都是好的，只要存感谢的心领受，没有一样是可以弃绝的；

⁴because every creature of God [is] good, and nothing [is] to be rejected, with thanksgiving being received,

⁵都因着　神的道和人的祈求成为圣洁了。

⁵for it is sanctified through the word of God and intercession.

⁶要作信徒的榜样你若把这些事提醒弟兄们，就是基督耶稣的好仆役，常在信仰的话语上，和你所遵从美善的教训上得着培养。

⁶These things placing before the brethren, thou shalt be a good ministrant of Jesus Christ, being nourished by the words of the faith, and of the good teaching, which thou didst follow after,

⁷总要弃绝世俗以及老妇的无稽之谈；要操练自己达到敬虔的地步。

⁷and the profane and old women`s fables reject thou, and exercise thyself unto piety,

⁸因为操练身体，益处还少；唯独操练敬虔，凡事有益，享有今生和来世的应许。

⁸for the bodily exercise is unto little profit, and the piety is to all things profitable, a promise having of the life that now is, and of that which is coming;

⁹这话是可信的，是值得完全接纳的。

⁹stedfast [is] the word, and of all acceptation worthy;

¹⁰我们也是为这缘故劳苦努力，因为我们的盼望在于永活的　神。他是万人的救主，更是信徒的救主。

¹⁰for for this we both labour and are reproached, because we hope on the living God, who is Saviour of all men — especially of those believing.

¹¹这些事你要嘱咐人，教导人。

¹¹Charge these things, and teach;

¹²不要叫人小看你年轻，总要在言语、行为、爱心、信心和纯洁上，都作信徒的榜样。

¹²let no one despise thy youth, but a pattern become thou of those believing in word, in behaviour, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity;

¹³在我来以前，你要专心宣读圣经、劝勉和教导。

¹³till I come, give heed to the reading, to the exhortation, to the teaching;

¹⁴不要忽略你所得的恩赐，就是众长老按手时借着预言赐给你的。

¹⁴be not careless of the gift in thee, that was given thee through prophecy, with laying on of the hands of the eldership;

¹⁵这些事你要认真实行，专心去作，使众人看出你的长进来。

¹⁵of these things be careful; in these things be, that thy advancement may be manifest in all things;

¹⁶你要谨慎自己，留心自己的教训。在这些事上要有恒心，因为你这样作，不但能救自己，也能救那些听你的人。

¹⁶take heed to thyself, and to the teaching; remain in them, for this thing doing, both thyself thou shalt save, and those hearing thee.
