我遣爾似羊入狼中、故當智如蛇、馴如鴿、

兄弟乎、於心志勿為孩提、於惡慝當為赤子、於心志則為成人、

首焉者、我賴耶穌基督、為爾眾謝我上帝、因爾之信舉世宣揚、

我所祈者、使爾愛於知識通達而愈充溢、

爾中孰睿而智乎、宜以溫柔之智、自善行而彰其工、若心懷嫉很朋黨、則勿誇勿誑、以敵真理、此智非自上而來、乃屬地與慾與魔也、蓋媢嫉朋黨所在、必有紛亂與諸惡行、惟自上之智、則首貞潔、次和平、溫良、柔順、充以矜恤與善果、無貳無偽、仁義之果、乃以和致和者之所播也、

俾爾純粹無疵為上帝子、無瑕於邪逆之世、顯為燭世之光、

我民蒙昧、而不我識、愚蠢之子、罔有聰慧、行惡有智、行善無智、○

且自幼穉識聖書、能使爾智、以致拯救、由於信之在基督耶穌中者、凡由上帝所感之聖經、有益於訓誨、督責、反正、習義、致屬上帝者得以純全、悉備善工、

當以基督之道充實爾衷、智慧俱備、以詩、以歌、以靈賦、相教相戒、中心感恩、以頌上帝、

我致志於純全之道、爾何時臨蒞我、必以純全之心、行於家庭兮、

勿為愚、務悉主旨、

今提摩太自爾返、報我嘉音、言爾之信與愛、且常緬懷我、切願見我、如我於爾然、兄弟乎、故我於諸顚沛患難中、因爾之信而受慰、爾若堅立主中、我則生矣、我在上帝前、為爾所樂之樂、將何以答謝上帝乎、晝夜切求、願見爾面、以補爾信之不逮、○

故我聞爾於主耶穌之信、向諸聖徒之愛、則為爾感謝不已、祈禱時常念及爾、俾我主耶穌基督之上帝、有榮之父、賜爾明智與啟示之靈、以識上帝、心目克明、俾知爾蒙其召所望何如、彼於諸聖徒之業、其榮之豐富何如、

往哉、我遣爾似羔入狼中、

耶和華之神必臨之、即智慧明哲之神、謀畧才能之神、知識與寅畏耶和華之神也、彼以寅畏耶和華為悅、不依目見而鞫、不依耳聞而擬、

誰能鞫此眾民、祈賜爾僕智慧之心、為民折中、而辨是非、所羅門求此、主悅其言、上帝曰、因爾求此、不求壽富、亦不求滅敵之命、惟求智慧以聽訟、我依爾所求、以聰明智慧之心錫爾、致爾之前、未有如爾者、爾之後、亦未有如爾者、

蓋主之道自爾聲聞於外、不第於馬其頓亞該亞、且爾於上帝之信、隨在播揚、我儕無庸有言、蓋彼自言我如何入於爾中、爾如何棄像而歸上帝、以事生且真之上帝、

我儕為爾眾恆謝上帝、祈禱間念及爾、於我父上帝前、恆念爾以信而行、以愛而勞、以望我主耶穌基督而忍、

我儕恆為爾祈禱、謝上帝我主耶穌基督之父、蓋聞爾於基督耶穌之信、及向諸聖徒之愛、因爾有望存之於天、即爾昔聞於福音之真道、此已及爾、亦猶徧及天下、結實而增益、與在爾中無異、自爾聞之之日、而誠知上帝恩也、如爾學於我所愛之同僕以巴弗、彼緣我儕為基督忠役、且以爾由聖神之愛告我、○故我儕自聞之之日、為爾祈禱不已、俾爾充諸靈智靈識、洞悉其旨、
