    [kjv]  But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour⁴ Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality⁵ to light through the gospel:
    [bbe]  But has now been made clear by the revelation of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who put an end to death and made life unending come to light through the good news,
1:11 [hgb]  我 为 这 福 音 奉 派 作 传 道 的 ， 作 使 徒 ， 作 师 傅 。 
    [kjv]  Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
    [bbe]  Of which I was made a preacher and an Apostle and a teacher;
1:12 [hgb]  为 这 缘 故 ， 我 也 受 这 些 苦 难 。 然 而 我 不 以 为 耻 。 因 为 知 道 我 所 信 的 是 谁 ， 也 深 信 他 能 保 全 我 所 交 付 他 的 ， （ 或 作 他 所 交 托 我 的 ） 直 到 那 日 。 
    [kjv]  For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
    [bbe]  And for which I undergo these things: but I have no feeling of shame. For I have knowledge of him in whom I have faith, and I am certain that he is able to keep that which I have given into his care till that day.
1:13 [hgb]  你 从 我 听 的 那 纯 正 话 语 的 规 模 ， 要 用 在 基 督 耶 稣 里 的 信 心 和 爱 心 ， 常 常 守 着 。 
    [kjv]  Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
    [bbe]  Keep the form of those true words which you had from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
1:14 [hgb]  从 前 所 交 托 你 的 善 道 ， 你 要 靠 着 那 住 在 我 们 里 面 的 圣 灵 ， 牢 牢 的 守 着 。 
    [kjv]  That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
    [bbe]  That good thing which was given to you keep safe, through the Holy Spirit which is in us.
1:15 [hgb]  凡 在 亚 西 亚 的 人 都 离 弃 我 ， 这 是 你 知 道 的 。 其 中 有 腓 吉 路 和 黑 摩 其 尼 。 
    [kjv]  This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
    [bbe]  You have had news that all those in Asia went away from me; among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes:
1:16 [hgb]  愿 主 怜 悯 阿 尼 色 弗 一 家 的 人 。 因 他 屡 次 使 我 畅 快 ， 不 以 我 的 锁 链 为 耻 。 
    [kjv]  The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:
    [bbe]  May the Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus because he frequently gave me help, and had no feeling of shame because I was in chains;
1:17 [hgb]  反 倒 在 罗 马 的 时 候 ， 殷 勤 的 找 我 ， 并 且 找 着 了 。 
    [kjv]  But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently⁶, and found me.
    [bbe]  But when he was in Rome, he went in search of me everywhere, and came to me
1:18 [hgb]  愿 主 使 他 在 那 日 得 主 的 怜 悯 。 他 在 以 弗 所 怎 样 多 多 地 服 事 我 ， 是 你 明 明 知 道 的 。 
    [kjv]  The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
