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。

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、

吾茲遣吾之愛兒、主之忠僕、蒂茂德適爾、以便為爾面授我因基督耶穌所取之途徑；蓋我在各處教會所教者、莫非同然也。

蓋前書所云、亦不過欲借此測驗爾等之服從否耳。

致書於其同道之神子、蒂茂德曰：伏願天主聖父、及吾主基督耶穌、降汝聖寵、加汝慈惠、鍚汝平安、是所至頌。

吾儕尚遣一兄弟與彼二人偕行、此君為吾儕所深識、在過去任事甚見熱心、此次更為熱心；以對爾等滿懷厚望也。

致書於我愛子蒂茂德曰：伏願恩寵、慈愍、平安、降自天主聖父、及吾主耶穌基督、加於汝身。

葆樂欲攜之與俱、以是處猶太人咸知其父為希臘人、乃為之行割禮。共歷諸邑、以耶路撒冷宗徒長老所立之教規授諸信徒遵守之；於是教會信心益堅、歸者日盛。葆樂一行、以聖神禁其傳道於亞細亞、乃經弗呂家、加拉大、及抵每西亞境、欲赴庇推尼、而耶穌之神靈又不之許、遂越每西亞而抵特羅亞。葆樂夜得異象、見一馬其頓人立而請曰：『駕臨馬其頓、以助吾人！』葆樂既見異象、乃知天主命吾儕傳福音於馬其頓、吾儕遂急圖一往。自特羅亞揚帆逕至撒摩持喇；次日經尼波利而抵斐立比、斐立比者馬其頓之首邑、而羅馬之殖民地也、吾儕因作數日逗留。

是故極望爾等善遇之、以發揚爾等之愛德、而證吾儕所誇耀於爾等者之非子虛、亦所以副諸聖會之盛意耳。

吾兒蒂茂德乎、我剴切誡汝、一遵當日為汝而發之預言、努力作戰、以達勝利。

惟吾兒素承吾之教誨、對於吾之行實、吾之志向、吾之信德、吾之刻苦、吾之愛德、

與予同心懷爾者、莫如此君；

茲致書於同一信仰之愛子提多曰：願天主聖父、及吾儕救主耶穌基督、降爾聖寵、錫爾平安。

吾作此言、非命令也、乃欲藉他人之熱情、一測爾等愛德之深淺耳。
