テモテへの手紙Ⅱ 3
Japanese Living Bible
やがて来る迫害に備える
3 テモテよ。これから書くことを、よく心にとめておきなさい。終末の時代には、クリスチャンになることが非常にむずかしくなります。 2 自分だけを愛し、また、お金がすべてだと考える風潮がはびこります。その時人々は、高慢な者、大言壮語する者、神をあざける者、両親に従わない者、感謝することを知らない者、神を恐れない者になり、 3 また、他人を理解しようとしない者、人をだます者、節度のない者になります。彼らは乱暴で残忍な行動をし、善良な人をあざ笑います。 4 人を裏切り、すぐに思い上がり、神を礼拝するよりも自分の快楽に心を奪われます。 5 教会に出席していたとしても、聞いたことを何一つ信じようとしないのです。目をしっかり開けて、そんな人たちには近寄らないようにしなさい。
6 そういう人たちの中には、うまく他人の家に入り込み、愚かな女たちにつけ入って、新しい教えを吹き込む者がいます。 7 彼女たちは、新しい教師にはすぐ飛びつきますが、いつまでたっても真理がわかりません。
8 また、そうした教師も、モーセに逆らったヤンネとヤンブレ(ユダヤの伝承に登場する)のように、真理に逆らっているのです。彼らは心の腐った、信仰の失格者です。 9 しかし、いつまでもそんなことが続くわけではありません。ヤンネとヤンブレの罪がだれの目にも明らかになったように、いつかは、彼らの愚かさも明白になるのです。
10 しかしあなたは、私が何を信じ、何を望み、どのように生活しているか、よく知っています。キリストに対する私の信仰も、苦しみも、そして、あなたへの愛と忍耐も知っています。 11 福音を伝えたために、私がどれだけ痛めつけられたかも知っています。アンテオケ、イコニオム、ルステラで受けた迫害の一部始終も知っているはずです。しかし主は、私を守ってくださいました。 12 確かに、キリスト・イエスの教えにそって、神を敬う生活を送ろうとする人はみな、敵対する者から苦しめられ、迫害されます。 13 しかし、人をだます悪人や偽教師は、自分も悪魔にだまされて、ますます悪の深みにはまり込むのです。 14 あなたは、真理を教えた私たちを信頼していなさい。 15 また、小さいころから、自分がどのように聖書を教えられてきたか覚えているでしょう。この聖書こそ、キリスト・イエスを信じることによって救われるための知恵を与えてくれるのです。 16 神の霊感によって書かれた聖書は、何が真理であり、何が悪であるかをよく教えてくれます。また、私たちの生活をまっすぐにし、正しいことを行う力を与えてくれます。 17 こうして神は、私たちをあらゆる点で整え、どんな良い働きをも行う力を、十分に与えてくださるのです。
2 Timothy 3
New King James Version
Perilous Times and Perilous Men
3 But know this, that (A)in the last days [a]perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, [b]unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 (B)traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 (C)having a form of godliness but (D)denying its power. And (E)from such people turn away! 6 For (F)of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able (G)to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 (H)Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: (I)men of corrupt minds, (J)disapproved concerning the faith; 9 but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, (K)as theirs also was.
The Man of God and the Word of God
10 (L)But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance, 11 persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me (M)at Antioch, (N)at Iconium, (O)at Lystra—what persecutions I endured. And (P)out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yes, and (Q)all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. 13 (R)But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14 But you must (S)continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15 and that from childhood you have known (T)the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 (U)All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, (V)and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for [c]instruction in righteousness, 17 (W)that the man of God may be complete, (X)thoroughly equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 3
New International Version
3 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.(A) 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money,(B) boastful, proud,(C) abusive,(D) disobedient to their parents,(E) ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous,(F) rash, conceited,(G) lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness(H) but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.(I)
6 They are the kind who worm their way(J) into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.(K) 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses,(L) so also these teachers oppose(M) the truth. They are men of depraved minds,(N) who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men,(O) their folly will be clear to everyone.
A Final Charge to Timothy
10 You, however, know all about my teaching,(P) my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, 11 persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch,(Q) Iconium(R) and Lystra,(S) the persecutions I endured.(T) Yet the Lord rescued(U) me from all of them.(V) 12 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,(W) 13 while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse,(X) deceiving and being deceived.(Y) 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,(Z) 15 and how from infancy(AA) you have known the Holy Scriptures,(AB) which are able to make you wise(AC) for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed(AD) and is useful for teaching,(AE) rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,(AF) 17 so that the servant of God[a](AG) may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.(AH)
