THE Apostle having given Timothy an exhortation to several particular duties, here gives him an exhortation to the Christian life in general.

Wherein we have two things.
其中我们有两件事。
- A description of the Christian life.
- 基督徒生活的描述。
It is not an easy, idle, inactive life; but, (1.) A fight, a combat, a wrestling: for there are many enemies set to keep us out of the promised land.
它不是一种轻松、懒散、不活跃的生活；而是，(1.) 一场战斗、一场争斗、一场摔跤：因为有许多敌人被设置来阻止我们进入应许之地。
(2.) A good fight. There are many ill fights in the world.
(2.) 一场美好的战斗。世上有许多邪恶的战斗。
The men of the world have many fights and squabbles about this world, the honours, advantages, and pleasures of it, not worth the fighting for.
世人为了这个世界的荣誉、利益和享乐，有许多争战和争吵，不值得为此而战。
But it is a good fight, a noble and worthy fight, wherein true valour and magnanimity appears.
但这是一场美好的战斗，一场高贵而有价值的战斗，其中展现了真正的英勇和宽宏大量。
(3.) A fight of faith. Some understand this of the doctrine of faith, as that which is to be fought for.
(3.) 一场信心的战斗。有些人将此理解为信心的教义，即要为之而战的。
I understand it rather of the grace of faith, by which the fight is to be managed.
我更倾向于将其理解为信心的恩典，是借着它来管理这场战斗。
This comprehends the former; and is more agreeable to the practical directions, ver. 11, and the “laying hold on eternal life,” which is done by the grace of faith.
这包含了前者；并且更符合第11节的实际指导，以及“持定永生”，这是借着信心的恩典完成的。
So it is a fight to be managed in the way of believing.
所以这是一场要以相信的方式来管理的战斗。 - The word of command given: “Fight the good fight of faith:” Agonize, like a combatant, wrestler, puting forth your utmost vigour.
- 赐下的命令：“为真道打那美好的仗”：像一个斗士、摔跤手一样，拼尽你的全力去争战（Agonize）。
Timothy was engaged already in the fight; but still he was in the field of battle, and the enemy not yet off the field: therefore it is said to him, Fight.
提摩太已经参与了战斗；但他仍然在战场上，敌人还没有离开战场：因此对祂说，打仗。
Paul was going off the field, and he says, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith,” 2 Tim. 4:7.
保罗即将离开战场，他说：“那美好的仗我已经打完了，当跑的路我已经跑尽了，所信的道我已经守住了”，提摩太后书 4章7节。
Timothy was come on the field, and to him it was said, Fight.
提摩太已经来到战场上，对祂说，打仗。
