But you know Timothy’s proven worth, how as a son with a father he has served with me in the gospel.

但你们知道提摩太的明证；他兴旺福音，与我同劳，待我像儿子待父亲一样。

但你们知道提摩太是经得起考验的，他与我为了福音一同服侍，待我像儿子待父亲一样。

但你们知道提摩太是经得起考验的，他与我为了福音一同服侍，待我像儿子待父亲一样。

但你们知道提摩太的为人，我与他情同父子，一起事奉和传扬福音。

不过，你们知道提摩太已证明了他的为人，他和我一同为了福音服事主，就像儿子跟父亲一样。

但是，你们是知道提摩太那经过考验的品德。因为他在福音工作上与我一起服事，就像儿子与父亲那样。

但你們知道提摩太的為人，我與他情同父子，一起事奉和傳揚福音。

不過，你們知道提摩太已證明了他的為人，他和我一同為了福音服事主，就像兒子跟父親一樣。

但提摩太被試驗的品德你們是知道的：知道他為着福音做了僕役，同我在一起、就像孩子同父親一樣。

但是，你們是知道提摩太那經過考驗的品德。因為他在福音工作上與我一起服事，就像兒子與父親那樣。

爾知提摩太之徵驗、即與我共役於福音、猶子之於父、

爾曾試提摩太、知其與我從事、猶子之於父、以傳福音、

爾知提摩太已被試驗、彼如子之於父、從而事我從而事我或作與我同勞以傳福音、

蒂茂德則一片丹忱無懈可擊。彼之事予如父、亦步亦趨、共贊福音之傳揚、爾等所知也。

But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel.

But you know that Timothy has proved himself. He has served with me like a son with his father in spreading the good news.

But you know how Timothy has proved himself. Like a son with his father, he has served with me in preaching the Good News.

But you know his proven character, because he has served with me in the gospel ministry like a son with a father.

But you know of his proven character, that he served with me in the furtherance of the gospel like a child serving his father.

But you know his proven character, that as a son with his father he served with me in the gospel.

But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child serveth a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the gospel.

But you know his proven character, because he has served with me in the gospel ministry like a son with a father.

But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.

But you know his qualifications, that like a son working with his father, he served with me in advancing the gospel.

But you know the proof of him, that as a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News.

That is why I sent you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, to remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach them everywhere in every church.

For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything.

To Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

And with them we are sending our brother whom we have often tested and found earnest in many matters, but who is now more earnest than ever because of his great confidence in you.

To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered to them for observance the decisions that had been reached by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem.So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and they increased in numbers daily.And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.And when they had come up to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.So, passing by Mysia, they went down to Troas.And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing there, urging him and saying,“ Come over to Macedonia and help us.”And when Paul had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go on into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.So, setting sail from Troas, we made a direct voyage to Samothrace, and the following day to Neapolis,and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia and a Roman colony. We remained in this city some days.

So give proof before the churches of your love and of our boasting about you to these men.

This charge I entrust to you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with the prophecies previously made about you, that by them you may wage the good warfare,

You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness,

For I have no one like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare.

To Titus, my true child in a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.

I say this not as a command, but to prove by the earnestness of others that your love also is genuine.
