末世的情形

你要知道,末世必有艰难的日子, 因为那时的人都自私自利、贪爱钱财、狂妄自夸、骄傲自负、说毁谤话、违背父母、忘恩负义、心不圣洁、 冷漠无情、不愿和解、好说谗言、毫无节制、蛮横凶暴、不爱良善、 出卖朋友、任意妄为、自高自大、沉溺享乐、不爱上帝, 虚有敬虔的外表,却无敬虔的实质。你要避开这样的人。

这些人溜进别人家里,哄骗那些意志薄弱的妇女。那些妇女心中充满罪恶,受各种邪情私欲的驱使, 虽然常常学习,却不能明白真理。 现在这些人敌对真理,就像从前雅尼和佯庇反对摩西一样,他们的心思坏透了,他们的信仰是虚假的。 不过,他们猖狂不了多久,因为他们的愚昧行径必暴露在众人面前,就像雅尼和佯庇的下场一样。

圣经的益处

10 但你熟知我的教导、言行、志向、信心、忍耐、爱心、毅力, 11 也知道我在安提阿、以哥念、路司得遭遇了何等的迫害和苦难。但主从这一切患难中救了我。 12 其实凡立志在基督耶稣里过敬虔生活的人都会受到迫害。 13 而恶人和骗子会变本加厉地迷惑人,也被人迷惑。

14 但你要把自己所学的、所笃信的记在心里,因为你知道是跟谁学的, 15 并且你从小就熟悉圣经。圣经能给你智慧,使你借着信基督耶稣得到拯救。 16 圣经全部是上帝启示的,有益于教导、督责、使人归正、培养人行义, 17 使属上帝的人得到充分的装备,去行各种善事。

Sache que, dans les derniers jours, il y aura des temps difficiles.

Car les hommes seront égoïstes, amis de l'argent, fanfarons, hautains, blasphémateurs, rebelles à leurs parents, ingrats, irréligieux,

insensibles, déloyaux, calomniateurs, intempérants, cruels, ennemis des gens de bien,

traîtres, emportés, enflés d'orgueil, aimant le plaisir plus que Dieu,

ayant l'apparence de la piété, mais reniant ce qui en fait la force. Éloigne-toi de ces hommes-là.

Il en est parmi eux qui s'introduisent dans les maisons, et qui captivent des femmes d'un esprit faible et borné, chargées de péchés, agitées par des passions de toute espèce,

apprenant toujours et ne pouvant jamais arriver à la connaissance de la vérité.

De même que Jannès et Jambrès s'opposèrent à Moïse, de même ces hommes s'opposent à la vérité, étant corrompus d'entendement, réprouvés en ce qui concerne la foi.

Mais ils ne feront pas de plus grands progrès; car leur folie sera manifeste pour tous, comme le fut celle de ces deux hommes.

10 Pour toi, tu as suivi de près mon enseignement, ma conduite, mes résolutions, ma foi, ma douceur, ma charité, ma constance,

11 mes persécutions, mes souffrances. A quelles souffrances n'ai-je pas été exposé à Antioche, à Icone, à Lystre? Quelles persécutions n'ai-je pas supportées? Et le Seigneur m'a délivré de toutes.

12 Or, tous ceux qui veulent vivre pieusement en Jésus Christ seront persécutés.

13 Mais les homme méchants et imposteurs avanceront toujours plus dans le mal, égarants les autres et égarés eux-mêmes.

14 Toi, demeure dans les choses que tu as apprises, et reconnues certaines, sachant de qui tu les as apprises;

15 dès ton enfance, tu connais les saintes lettres, qui peuvent te rendre sage à salut par la foi en Jésus Christ.

16 Toute Écriture est inspirée de Dieu, et utile pour enseigner, pour convaincre, pour corriger, pour instruire dans la justice,

17 afin que l'homme de Dieu soit accompli et propre à toute bonne oeuvre.

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.

10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.(A) People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money,(B) boastful, proud,(C) abusive,(D) disobedient to their parents,(E) ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous,(F) rash, conceited,(G) lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness(H) but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.(I)

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, always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.(K) 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. 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)

Perilous Times and Perilous Men

But know this, that (A)in the last days [a]perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, [b]unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, (B)traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, (C)having a form of godliness but (D)denying its power. And (E)from such people turn away! 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, always learning and never able (G)to come to the knowledge of the truth. (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; 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.
