提摩太前書6:12-14

6:12 你要為真道打那美好的仗，持定永生。你為此被召，也在許多見證人面前，已經作了那美好的見證。

6:13 我在叫萬物生活的上帝面前，並在向本丟•彼拉多作過那美好見證的基督耶穌面前囑咐你：

6:14 要守這命令，毫不玷污，無可指責，直到我們的主耶穌基督顯現。

Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who in his testimony before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, to keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Chhai sin-ngióng ke pí-soi táng-kô, ngì oi chhin-miang-é chéu, vi chhṳ-kâ yàng-tó yún-yén ke sâng-miang; vi-tó liá-ke yún-sên, ngì pûn Song-ti fû-seu, ya chhai tô-tô chṳn-ngìn ke mien-chhièn, yí-kîn kûng-khôi siên-ko liá mî-hó ke sin-ngióng. Khì-sṳ̍t, Kî-tuk Yâ-sû chhai Phàng-siû-Pí-lâ-tô mien-chhièn cho-chṳn ke sṳ̀, sṳt cho mî-hó ke siên-ko. Chhai su sâng-miang pûn van-vu̍t ke Song-ti lâu liá-vi Yâ-sû mien-chhièn, ngài fûn-fu ngì: Oi mò khiet-tiám, mò hó-hiàm chûn-sú ngì só chiap-su ke min-lin, chhṳ̍t-to ngài-têu ke Chú Yâ-sû Kî-tuk hién-hien ke-ngit.

    我們的信仰是從上帝那裡領受來的，是寶貴的恩典，是要好好珍惜與持守的。也因為這個緣故，一位真正得救的人，一定會看中這個信仰，存著盼望基督顯現，保守自己直到永生！

    這也是為甚麼我們要認定信仰完全是上帝的恩典，不是上帝和人合作的結果。因為若是信仰不完全是上帝的恩典，人就不會珍惜，總覺得是自己努力來的，就不會歸榮要給上帝，就不會珍惜與把握，以至於隨隨便便以自己的想法取代聖靈的引導，更不會透過聖經好好尋求上帝的心意。

    也因為如此，我們必須存這敬畏的心，持守上帝所賜的信仰，持守上帝的命令，不沾染是俗的污穢，努力在上帝面前成為一位完全的人，等候主耶穌基督的再來，好進入上帝榮耀的國！
