聖經經文

“For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for my departure. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” “我現在被澆奠，我離世的時候到了。那美好的仗我已經打過了。當跑的路我已經跑盡了。所信的道我已經守住了。” （提摩太后書4:6-7)

意思

“Fight the good fight”比喻“不計較結果，迎難而上”。

來源及應用

在過去的30多年里，使徒保羅在亞洲和歐洲傳播福音。他把自己傳道者的生涯比作是一場仗和競賽。他在這段經文中回顧過去，就如打了一場美好的仗，矢志不渝地捍衛自己的信仰。 “Fight the good fight”比喻“不計較結果，迎難而上”。不論一個人是成功或失敗，他都打了一場漂亮的仗，“不以成敗論英雄”。 “Fight the good fight”更成為政治上的常用語，1992年美國前總統布什在總統競選中也用上這習語。

例句
