2 Timothy 3
New American Standard Bible 1995
“Difficult Times Will Come”
3 But realize this, that (A)in the last days difficult times will come. 2 For men will be (B)lovers of self, (C)lovers of money, (D)boastful, (E)arrogant, (F)revilers, (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 men as these. 6 For among them are those who [c](T)enter 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, rejected in regard to the faith. 9 But they will not make further progress; for their (AA)folly will be obvious to all, just (AB)as [f]Jannes’s and Jambres’s folly was also.
10 Now you (AC)followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, (AD)love, [g]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 desire to live godly in Christ Jesus (AL)will be persecuted. 13 But evil men 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 [h]inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for [i]training in righteousness; 17 so that (AV)the man of God may be adequate, (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)

nuBibeln (Swedish Contemporary Bible)
Ondska under världens sista tid
3 Du bör också veta att det under den sista tiden kommer att bli mycket svårt,[a] 2 för människorna tänker då bara på sig själva och på pengar. De blir skrytsamma, högmodiga, kaxiga, de lyder inte sina föräldrar, de är otacksamma och oheliga, 3 kärlekslösa och oförsonliga. De sprider skvaller och saknar självbehärskning, är grymma och hatar allt gott. 4 De är svekfulla, saknar alla spärrar och är högfärdiga. De älskar njutningar mer än Gud. 5 De vill ge intryck av gudsfruktan men vill inte veta av dess kraft. Håll dig borta från sådana.
6 Dit hör också de som lurar sig in i hemmen och skaffar sig inflytande över lättledda kvinnor som plågas av sina synder och drivs av alla möjliga impulser. 7 Sådana är alltid villiga att följa en ny undervisning, men de lyckas aldrig komma till insikt om sanningen. 8 Så som Jannes och Jambres satte sig upp mot Mose[b], så sätter dessa sig upp mot sanningen. Deras sinnen är fördärvade, och deras tro är ingenting värd.
9 Men deras framgång ska snart ta slut. Deras dårskap ska bli avslöjad inför alla, på samma sätt som Moses motståndare blev avslöjade.
Paulus förmaningar till Timotheos
10 Men du har följt min undervisning, mitt sätt att leva, mina mål, min tro, mitt tålamod, min kärlek, min uthållighet, 11 mina förföljelser och lidanden, sådana som jag fick utstå i Antiochia, Ikonion och Lystra.[c] Men Herren räddade mig från dem alla.
12 På samma sätt kommer alla som vill leva gudfruktigt i Kristus Jesus att bli förföljda. 13 Onda människor och bedragare kommer att gå allt längre i sin ondska. De lurar andra, men är samtidigt lurade själva.
14 Du måste hålla fast vid det du har fått lära dig och blivit övertygad om. Du vet vilka de är som undervisade dig. 15 Ända sedan du var liten känner du ju också till vad som står i de heliga Skrifterna. Där kan du hitta all den vishet du behöver för att bli räddad genom tron på Kristus Jesus. 16 Hela Skriften är inspirerad av Gud och kan användas då man undervisar, tillrättavisar, korrigerar och fostrar till rättfärdighet, 17 så att den som tillhör Gud blir väl rustad för alla goda gärningar.
