保罗对提摩太所讲的话，为我们提供了一些过圣洁生活实用的劝告。

提摩太自幼便学习圣经中的真道。在这里，保罗鼓励他继续阅读、研习，并且信靠神的话语。这样做能帮助每一个信徒专心行在神的道路上，藉此得到丰盛和有意义的生命。神的话是可信的，因为它不是不完全的人所说的；它乃是永活神自己的真道。

我们在使徒信经中宣告“我信圣灵”时，我们声明圣灵透过和使用那些书写圣经的人，向我们启示神在我们身上的计划和目的。保罗以“神默示”来形容圣灵的工作。就像把生气吹进被造的第一个人亚当身体里那样，（参创 2:7）圣灵也把生气吹进执笔书写圣经之人的工作中，使圣经充满生命，能够为我们提供过信心生活所需要了解的一切。

在今天，你想知道怎样为神而活吗？你无需到处寻找线索了，答案就在神所默示的毫无错谬的圣经中。圣灵把圣经赐给我们，好叫我们可以荣耀神和服侍祂。

Paul’s words to Timothy here offer practical advice for godly living.

From an early age, Timothy had learned the truth found in the Scriptures. And here Paul encourages him to continue to read, learn from, and trust in God’s Word, which helps every believer focus on living God’s way for full, meaningful life. God’s Word can be trusted because it is not the mere words of imperfect human beings; it is the truth of the eternal God himself.

When we confess, with the Apostles’ Creed, "I believe in the Holy Spirit, " we affirm that the Holy Spirit worked in and through the people who wrote down the words of Scripture to reveal God’s design and purpose for us. Paul describes the Spirit’s work as "God-breathed. " Just as the Holy Spirit breathed life into the first human being (Genesis 2:7), so the Holy Spirit breathed into the work of the Bible’s human authors, making the Scriptures full of life and giving all that we need for faithful living.

Do you want to know how to live for God today? Look no further than the inspired and infallible words of the Bible. The Holy Spirit gave it to us so that we can glorify God and serve him.
