2 Timoteo 3
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Carácter y conducta de los hombres en los últimos días
3 Pero debes saber esto: que en los últimos días(A) vendrán tiempos difíciles. 2 Porque los hombres serán amadores de sí mismos(B), avaros(C), jactanciosos(D), soberbios(E), blasfemos(F), desobedientes a los padres(G), ingratos(H), irreverentes(I), 3 sin amor(J), implacables, calumniadores(K), desenfrenados[a], salvajes[b], aborrecedores de lo bueno(L), 4 traidores(M), impetuosos[c](N), envanecidos(O), amadores de los placeres en vez de amadores de Dios(P); 5 teniendo apariencia de piedad[d](Q), pero habiendo negado(R) su poder. A los tales evita(S).
6 Porque entre ellos están los que se meten en las casas(T) y se llevan cautivas a mujercillas cargadas de pecados(U), llevadas por diversas pasiones(V), 7 que siempre están aprendiendo, pero nunca pueden llegar al pleno conocimiento de la verdad(W). 8 Y así como Janes y Jambres(X) se opusieron a Moisés(Y), de la misma manera estos también se oponen a la verdad. Son hombres de mente depravada(Z), reprobados en lo que respecta a la fe. 9 Pero no progresarán más, pues su insensatez será manifiesta a todos(AA), como también sucedió con la de aquellos dos(AB).
Comisión a Timoteo
10 Pero tú has seguido mi enseñanza(AC), mi conducta, propósito, fe, paciencia, amor(AD), perseverancia, 11 mis persecuciones(AE), sufrimientos(AF), como los que me acaecieron en Antioquía(AG), en Iconio(AH) y en Listra(AI). ¡Qué persecuciones sufrí(AJ)! Y de todas ellas me libró el Señor(AK). 12 Y en verdad, todos los que quieren vivir piadosamente en Cristo Jesús, serán perseguidos(AL). 13 Pero los hombres malos e impostores irán de mal en peor(AM), engañando y siendo engañados(AN). 14 Tú, sin embargo, persiste en las cosas que has aprendido(AO) y de las cuales te convenciste, sabiendo de quiénes las has aprendido. 15 Desde la niñez(AP) has sabido las Sagradas Escrituras(AQ), las cuales te pueden dar la sabiduría(AR) que lleva a la salvación mediante la fe(AS) en Cristo Jesús(AT).
16 Toda Escritura es inspirada(AU) por[e] Dios y[f] útil para enseñar, para reprender, para corregir, para instruir en justicia[g], 17 a fin de que el hombre de Dios(AV) sea perfecto[h], equipado para toda buena obra(AW).
2 Timothy 3
English Standard Version
Godlessness in the Last Days
3 But understand this, that (A)in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 For people will be (B)lovers of self, (C)lovers of money, (D)proud, (E)arrogant, abusive, (F)disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 (G)heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, (H)not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, (I)swollen with conceit, (J)lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but (K)denying its power. (L)Avoid such people. 6 For among them are (M)those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, 7 always learning and never able to (N)arrive at a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as (O)Jannes and Jambres (P)opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, (Q)men corrupted in mind and (R)disqualified regarding the faith. 9 But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, (S)as was that of those two men.
All Scripture Is Breathed Out by God
10 (T)You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, 11 my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me (U)at Antioch, (V)at Iconium, and (W)at Lystra—which persecutions I endured; yet (X)from them all (Y)the Lord rescued me. 12 Indeed, all who desire to (Z)live a godly life in Christ Jesus (AA)will be persecuted, 13 while (AB)evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and (AC)being deceived. 14 But as for you, (AD)continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom[a] you learned it 15 and how (AE)from childhood you have been acquainted with (AF)the sacred writings, (AG)which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 (AH)All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that (AI)the man of God[b] may be complete, (AJ)equipped (AK)for every good work.

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)
