Să ştii că în(A) zilele din urmă vor fi vremuri grele. Căci oamenii vor fi iubitori de sine(B), iubitori de bani(C), lăudăroşi(D), trufaşi(E), hulitori(F), neascultători de părinţi(G), nemulţumitori, fără evlavie, fără(H) dragoste firească, neînduplecaţi, clevetitori(I), neînfrânaţi(J), neîmblânziţi, neiubitori de bine, vânzători(K), obraznici, îngâmfaţi; iubitori(L) mai mult de plăceri decât iubitori de Dumnezeu, având doar o formă de evlavie, dar tăgăduindu-i puterea(M). Depărtează-te de oamenii aceştia(N). Sunt(O) printre ei unii care se vâră prin case şi momesc pe femeile uşuratice îngreuiate de păcate şi frământate de felurite pofte, care învaţă întotdeauna şi nu pot ajunge(P) niciodată la deplina cunoştinţă a adevărului. După cum(Q) Iane şi Iambre s-au împotrivit lui Moise, tot aşa şi oamenii(R) aceştia se împotrivesc adevărului, ca unii care sunt stricaţi la minte şi osândiţi(S) în ceea ce priveşte credinţa. Dar nu vor mai înainta căci nebunia lor va fi arătată tuturor, cum(T) a fost arătată şi a celor doi oameni. 10 Tu, însă(U), ai urmărit de aproape învăţătura mea, purtarea mea, hotărârea mea, credinţa mea, îndelunga mea răbdare, dragostea mea, răbdarea mea, 11 prigonirile şi suferinţele care au venit peste mine în(V) Antiohia, în(W) Iconia şi în(X) Listra. Ştii ce prigoniri am răbdat, şi totuşi Domnul m-a izbăvit din(Y) toate. 12 De altfel, toţi(Z) cei ce voiesc să trăiască cu evlavie în Hristos Isus vor fi prigoniţi. 13 Dar(AA) oamenii răi şi înşelători vor merge din rău în mai rău, vor amăgi pe alţii şi se vor amăgi şi pe ei înşişi. 14 Tu(AB) să rămâi în lucrurile pe care le-ai învăţat şi de care eşti deplin încredinţat, căci ştii de la cine le-ai învăţat: 15 din pruncie cunoşti Sfintele(AC) Scripturi, care pot să-ţi dea înţelepciunea care duce la mântuire, prin credinţa în Hristos Isus. 16 Toată(AD) Scriptura este insuflată de Dumnezeu şi de folos(AE) ca să înveţe, să mustre, să îndrepte, să dea înţelepciune în neprihănire, 17 pentru ca(AF) omul lui Dumnezeu să fie desăvârşit şi cu totul destoinic(AG) pentru orice lucrare bună.

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)

  1. 2 Timothy 3:17 Or that you, a man of God,

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.
