提摩太後書 2:22 Meaning and Commentary

2 Timothy 2:22

Flee also youthful lusts
Meaning not lusts of uncleanness, lasciviousness, and filthiness; nor any of those follies and vanities which the youthful age usually lusts and desires after, to which Timothy was not inclined; but such lusts as are apt to prevail with young ministers of the Gospel, such as vain glory, popular applause, seeking to have the pre-eminence, contentions with, and contempt of others, and the like.

But follow righteousness;
the righteousness of Christ; or doing that which is just between man and man, and as one man would choose another should do to him; or rather integrity and faithfulness, in the ministry of the word, without seeking honour from men:

faith;
both as a doctrine and grace; or veracity and truth in preaching the Gospel, striving for that, and not through ambition, and for the pre-eminence:

charity;
or love, to God and Christ, and to his people; without which all gifts and works are of no avail; and which will engage a man to bear much, and to hope and believe all things:

peace with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart;
peace is to be pursued and followed after with all men, as much as possible, but especially with the saints, the true worshippers of God; who draw nigh to him with true hearts, and call upon him in the sincerity of their souls: great care should be taken that peace be maintained with them; for they have great interest at the throne of grace; and God is nigh unto them, and hears their prayers. The Alexandrian copy reads, "with all that love the Lord".

提摩太後書 2:22 In-Context

20 在 大 戶 人 家 , 不 但 有 金 器 銀 器 , 也 有 木 器 瓦 器 ; 有 作 為 貴 重 的 , 有 作 為 卑 賤 的 。
21 人 若 自 潔 , 脫 離 卑 賤 的 事 , 就 必 作 貴 重 的 器 皿 , 成 為 聖 潔 , 合 乎 主 用 , 預 備 行 各 樣 的 善 事 。
22 你 要 逃 避 少 年 的 私 慾 , 同 那 清 心 禱 告 主 的 人 追 求 公 義 、 信 德 、 仁 愛 、 和 平 。
23 惟 有 那 愚 拙 無 學 問 的 辯 論 , 總 要 棄 絕 , 因 為 知 道 這 等 事 是 起 爭 競 的 。
24 然 而 主 的 僕 人 不 可 爭 競 , 只 要 溫 溫 和 和 的 待 眾 人 , 善 於 教 導 , 存 心 忍 耐 ,
