2 Timothy 3
New American Standard Bible
Difficult Times Will Come
3 But realize this, that (A)in the last days difficult times will come. 2 For people will be (B)lovers of self, (C)lovers of money, (D)boastful, (E)arrogant, (F)slanderers, (G)disobedient to parents, (H)ungrateful, (I)unholy, 3 (J)unloving, irreconcilable, (K)malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, [a](L)haters of good, 4 (M)treacherous, (N)reckless, (O)conceited, (P)lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 holding to a form of [b](Q)godliness although they have (R)denied its power; (S)avoid such people as these. 6 For among them are those who [c](T)slip into households and captivate [d](U)weak women weighed down with sins, led on by (V)various impulses, 7 always learning and never able to (W)come to the [e]knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as (X)Jannes and Jambres (Y)opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, (Z)men of depraved mind, [f]worthless in regard to the faith. 9 But they will not make further progress; for their (AA)foolishness will be obvious to all, just (AB)as was that also of [g]Jannes and Jambres.
10 Now you (AC)followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, (AD)love, [h]perseverance, 11 (AE)persecutions, and (AF)sufferings, such as happened to me at (AG)Antioch, at (AH)Iconium, and at (AI)Lystra; what (AJ)persecutions I endured, and out of them all (AK)the Lord rescued me! 12 Indeed, all who want to live in a godly way in Christ Jesus (AL)will be persecuted. 13 But evil people and impostors (AM)will proceed from bad to worse, (AN)deceiving and being deceived. 14 You, however, (AO)continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15 and that (AP)from childhood you have known (AQ)the sacred writings which are able to (AR)give you the wisdom that leads to (AS)salvation through faith which is in (AT)Christ Jesus. 16 (AU)All Scripture is [i]inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for [j]rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17 so that (AV)the man or woman of God may be [k]fully capable, (AW)equipped for every good work.

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)

Tiempos difíciles
3 No pierdas esto de vista: cuando se acerque el fin llegarán momentos difíciles. 2 Los que vivan entonces se volverán egoístas, avaros, fanfarrones, soberbios, calumniadores, rebeldes a sus padres, desagradecidos, sacrílegos. 3 Serán duros de corazón, desleales, difamadores, disolutos, inhumanos, malévolos, 4 traidores, temerarios y engreídos; buscarán su propio placer en lugar de buscar a Dios 5 y querrán aparentar una vida piadosa cuya autenticidad quedará desmentida por su conducta. ¡Apártate de esa clase de gente! 6 A ella pertenecen los que se cuelan de rondón en las casas y sorben el seso de mujeres incautas cargadas de pecados y agitadas por toda suerte de pasiones; 7 mujeres que andan siempre curioseando, pero son absolutamente incapaces de dar con la verdad. 8 De la misma manera que Janés y Jambrés se enfrentaron a Moisés, estos de ahora se enfrentan a la verdad. Son personas de mente pervertida, sin garantía alguna en lo que atañe a la fe. 9 Pero no podrán ir muy lejos porque todos se darán cuenta de su insensatez, como sucedió con Janés y Jambrés.
III.— NUEVA INVITACIÓN A LA FIDELIDAD, CON PABLO COMO EJEMPLO (3,10—4,8)
Invitación a la fidelidad
10 Tú, en cambio, has seguido de cerca mi enseñanza, mi estilo de vida y mis proyectos. Has imitado mi fe, mi mansedumbre, mi amor y mi paciencia. 11 Me has acompañado en las persecuciones y sufrimientos, como los que padecí en Antioquía, Iconio y Listra. ¡Cuántas persecuciones tuve que soportar! Pero de todas me libró el Señor. 12 Por lo demás, todos los que aspiren a llevar una vida cristiana auténticamente piadosa, sufrirán persecución. 13 En cuanto a los perversos y embaucadores, irán de mal en peor, engañando a los demás, pero siendo ellos los engañados.
14 Por tu parte, permanece fiel a lo que aprendiste y aceptaste. Sabes quiénes fueron tus maestros, 15 y que desde la cuna te han sido familiares las sagradas Escrituras como fuente de sabiduría en orden a la salvación mediante la fe en Cristo Jesús. 16 Toda Escritura está inspirada por Dios y es provechosa para enseñar, para argumentar, para corregir y para educar en la rectitud, 17 a fin de que el creyente esté perfectamente equipado para hacer toda clase de bien.
