2 Timoteo 3
Ang Salita ng Diyos
Kawalan ng Pagsamba sa Mga Huling Araw
3 Ngunit alamin mo ito, na sa mga huling araw, daratingang magulong panahon.
2 Ito ay sapagkat ang tao ay magigimg maibigin sa kanilang sarili, mga maibigin sa salapi, mayayabang, mapagmalaki, mamumusong, masuwayin sa mga magulang, hindi mapagpasalamat, hindi banal. 3 Sila ay walang pag-ibig, hindi mapagpatawad, mapanirang-puri, walang pagpipigil sa sarili, mabagsik, hindi mapagmahal sa kabutihan. 4 Sila ay mga taksil, mga hindi mapigil at mga mapagpalalo. Iniibig nila ang kalayawan kaysa sa ibigin nila ang Diyos. 5 Sila ay may anyo ng pagkamaka-Diyos ngunit ipinagkakaila ang kapangyarihan nito. Iwasan mo ang mga taong ito.
6 Ito ay sapagkat ang ganitong mga tao ang pumapasok sa bahay sa pamamagitan ng panlilinlang at binibihag ang mga babaeng mahihina ang kaisipan. Ang mga kasalanan ay nagpapabigat sa mga babaeng ito at inililigaw sila ng lahat ng uri ng pagnanasa. 7 Sila ay laging nag-aaral ngunit hindi sila kailanman makakaalam ng katotohanan. 8 Kung paanong si Janes at Jambres ay sumalungat kay Moises, gayundin ang pagsalungat sa katotohanan ng mga taong ito na may mga kaisipang napakasama. Patungkol sa pananampalataya, sila ay nasumpungang walang kabuluhan. 9 Ngunit sila ay hindi makakasulong pa. Ito sapagkat kung paanong nakita ng lahat ang kamangmangan nina Janes at Jambres, makikita rin ng lahat ang kamangmangan ng mga ito.
Ang Bilin ni Pablo kay Timoteo
10 Ngunit maingat mong sinunod ang mga itinuro ko, ang aking pamamaraan sa buhay, ang aking layunin, pananampalataya, pagtitiyaga, pag-ibig at pagtitiis.
11 Alam mo ang aking mga pag-uusig at ang aking mga kahirapan. Alam mo ang mga bagay na nangyari sa akin sa Antioquia, sa Iconio at sa Listra. Alam mo kung anong uri ng pag-uusig ang aking binata. Iniligtas ako ng Panginoon mula sa lahat ng ito. 12 At lahat nga ng ibig na mamuhay kay Cristo ng may pagkamaka-Diyosay uusigin. 13 Ngunit ang mga taong masasama at mga mapagpakunwari ay higit pang sasama. Inililigaw nila ang iba at ililigaw din sila ng iba. 14 Ngunit ikaw ay manatili sa mga bagay na iyong natutunan at sa mga bagay na nakakatiyak ka, sapagkat kilala mo kung kanino mo ito natutuhan. 15 Mula ng ikaw ay sanggol pa lamang, alam mo na ang banal na mga kasulatan na makakapagbigay ng karunungan sa iyo sa kaligtasan sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya kay Cristo Jesus. 16 Kinasihan ng Diyos ang bawat kasulatan. Ang mga ito ay mapakikinabangan sa pagtuturo, sa pagsaway, sa pagtutuwid, sa pagsasanay sa katuwiran. 17 Ito ay upang ang tao ng Diyos ay maging ganap, na naihandang lubos sa mga mabubuting gawa.

People will turn away from God in the last days
3 Let me tell you this. During the last days of this world, there will be times of great trouble. 2 People will love only themselves, and they will want lots of money for themselves. They will be proud and they will say how great they are. They will insult other people. They will not obey their parents. They will not thank anyone who helps them. They will not respect anything that is good. 3 They will not be kind to other people, but they will like to quarrel. They will tell lies to hurt other people. They will be unable to control themselves properly. They will be cruel and they will hate anything that is good. 4 People will turn against their friends. They will do foolish things. They will boast that they are very important. They will not love God, but instead they will only want to enjoy themselves. 5 Those people will seem to be serving God. But really they refuse to accept God's power to help them. You must stay away from people like that.
6 Among those people, there are some men who find a way into people's homes. They get power over silly women who feel very guilty about their sins. Those women want to do wrong things and they cannot stop themselves. 7 They are always trying to learn new things, but they can never really understand God's true message. 8 These are people who speak against God's true message, in the same way that Jannes and Jambres spoke against Moses.[a] Their minds have become confused. The way that they serve God is false. 9 But they will not continue to do many more bad things. Everyone will see clearly that they are fools. That is what happened to Jannes and Jambres.
Timothy must copy Paul's example
10 But you, Timothy, have heard my message and you know it well. You also know the way in which I have lived. You know my purpose in life. You know how I trust God. You know how patient I have been. You know my love for God and for other people. You know that I have been strong during troubles. 11 You also know what happened to me in the cities called Antioch, Iconium and Lystra. People caused me to have a lot of trouble and pain in those places. But I was patient and brave in those bad troubles! And the Lord kept me safe in all those dangerous times.[b]
12 It is not only me. Every Christian who wants to live in a way that pleases God will have trouble from other people. 13 Bad people like that will become even worse. Some of them will teach a false message and people will believe their lies. Those false teachers even believe their own lies!
It is important for us to know the Bible
14 But you must continue to believe the things that you have learned. You know that those things are true. You know the teachers who taught you those things. 15 Even when you were a child, you already knew the message of the Bible. The Bible has taught you how you can be truly wise. You understand that God saves you because you believe in Christ Jesus. 16 Everything that is written in the Bible comes from God's Spirit. It helps us in many ways. The Bible teaches us what is true. It warns us when we are doing wrong things. It shows us what is right. It teaches us how to live good lives.[c] 17 As a result, people who want to serve God can know how to live properly. They will be people who are ready to do all kinds of good things.

- 3:8 The Bible does not tell us about Jannes and Jambres. They may have been Egyptian men many years ago. They did magic for the king of Egypt. See Exodus 7:11-12,22; 8:7,18-19; 9:11.
- 3:11 See Acts 13:50; 14:1-6,19-20. Timothy's home was in Lystra. See Acts 16:1-5.
- 3:16 When Paul wrote this letter to Timothy, people had only the first part of the Bible, that we call the Old Testament. That part describes what happened before Jesus came to the earth.

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)
