我遣爾、似羊入狼中、故當智如蛇、馴如鴿、

兄弟乎、論智勿效赤子、論惡可效赤子、論智當效成人、

夫爾有信、舉世聲聞、故或賴耶穌基督、為爾眾謝我上帝、

我祈禱、欲爾仁愛智慧、日以滋多、

爾中若有睿智特識、則必以溫柔智慧、彰其善行、如心懷嫉狠忿戾、則勿自矜、冒稱真理、此智非由上來、乃屬斯世、血氣所激、魔鬼所迷、有媢嫉、爭鬥、則必作亂、行惡貫盈、由上之智、即廉潔、和平、溫良、寛恕、恆存矜恤善行、絕諸偏視偽為、行和平者、種和平也、必結善果、

毋間隙、毋駁雜、猶上帝子、處橫逆之境、無疵可議、反光燭於世、

耶和華曰、我民愚昧、俱不知我、不明孰甚、作惡則智、為善則愚。

爾自幼識聖經、因而有智、信基督耶穌得救、諸經本上帝所默示、有益於教誨、督責、正己、學義、俾事上帝之人、無不練達、百善悉備、

基督之道、充塞爾中、懷厥智慧彼此勸誨、以詩章、歌頌、神賦、虔心頌主、

余在家庭、惟道是從、惟公是秉兮、

不可不智、務悉主心、

今提摩太由爾反、報我嘉音、言爾信愛主、緬懷我、常欲見我、如我之欲見爾、故我患難顛沛中、念兄弟信主、為爾受慰、爾宗主堅立、我則生矣、我在上帝前、緣爾喜甚、將何以祝謝上帝乎、我晝夜祈禱、甚欲見爾、補爾信主之不逮、

我聞爾信主耶穌、愛諸聖徒、故為爾稱謝不息、祈禱間緬懷爾、求吾主耶穌基督之上帝、即榮耀之父、賜爾以智慧、默示之神、使爾識主、心目克明、知其召爾所望之福何如、聖徒之業、其富有何如、

往哉、我遣爾、似羔入狼群、

耶和華之神賦之、使有智慧、使有謀力、知耶和華之道而寅畏之、知人崇事耶和華之誠偽、不待目見耳聞、而是非悉辨、

孰能聽訟於斯眾之間乎、故祈爾使僕聰慧、可辨是非、為民折中。耶和華聞所羅門所祈、而悅其言、謂之曰、爾不求遐齡、巨富、勝敵、乃求聰慧、可以聽訟、我則許爾所求、以智慧之心錫汝、爾之前未有若是、爾之後亦不能若是。

主道由爾聲聞、不第馬其頓、亞該亞、而爾信上帝亦隨在播揚、我固無庸煩言、其言我至爾處、爾棄偶像、歸真有永生上帝以事之、

我儕為爾眾恆謝上帝、祈禱間緬懷爾、在吾父上帝前、每念爾信主而行、仁愛而勞、望吾主耶穌基督而恆忍、

我儕每為爾祈禱、謝吾主耶穌基督之父上帝者、因聞爾信耶穌基督、愛諸聖徒、素聽福音真道、仰望在天之福故也、此道傳至爾、爾聞之、誠知上帝恩而結果、亦傳至天下而結果焉、我所愛同僚以巴弗、乃基督忠僕、緣爾故教爾斯道、以爾感聖神、懷仁愛告我、我儕聞之、為爾祈禱不輟、願爾感聖神得智慧、備知其旨、
