圣经经文

“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.” “我现在被浇奠，我离世的时候到了。那美好的仗我已经打过了。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4:6-7)

意思

“Fight the good fight”比喻“不计较结果，迎难而上”。

来源及应用

在过去的30多年里，使徒保罗在亚洲和欧洲传播福音。他把自己传道者的生涯比作是一场仗和竞赛。他在這段經文中回顾过去，就如打了一场美好的仗，矢志不渝地捍卫自己的信仰。 “Fight the good fight”比喻“不计较结果，迎难而上”。不论一个人是成功或失败，他都打了一场漂亮的仗，“不以成败论英雄”。 “Fight the good fight”更成为政治上的常用语，1992年美国前总统布什在总统竞选中也用上這習語。
