2 Timothy 3

King James Version

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

²For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

³Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

⁴Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

⁵Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

⁶For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

⁷Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

⁸Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

⁹But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁵And 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.

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

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

“Difficult Times Will Come”

3 But realize this, that ^(A)in the last days difficult times will come. ²For 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, ⁵holding to a form of ^[b]^(Q)godliness, although they have ^(R)denied its power; ^(S)Avoid such men as these. ⁶For 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, ⁷always learning and never able to ^(W)come to the ^[e]knowledge of the truth. ⁸Just 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. ⁹But 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.

¹⁰Now 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! ¹²Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus ^(AL)will be persecuted. ¹³But evil men and impostors ^(AM)will proceed from bad to worse, ^(AN)deceiving and being deceived. ¹⁴You, however, ^(AO)continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them, ¹⁵and 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; ¹⁷so that ^(AV)the man of God may be adequate, ^(AW)equipped for every good work.

De dingen die in de laatste tijd van de wereld zullen gebeuren

3 Onthoud dat de laatste tijd van de wereld een moeilijke tijd zal zijn. ²Want de mensen zullen alleen maar aan zichzelf denken. Ze zullen hebzuchtig, trots en overmoedig zijn. Ze zullen God beledigen en ongehoorzaam zijn aan hun ouders. ³Ze zullen ondankbaar en slecht zijn en nergens respect voor hebben. Ze zullen liefdeloos en trouweloos zijn. Ze zullen leugens over andere mensen rondvertellen, geen zelfbeheersing hebben, wreed zijn en een hekel hebben aan goede mensen. ⁴Ze zullen verraderlijk, roekeloos en trots zijn, en meer houden van plezier maken dan van God. ⁵Ze doen wel alsof ze heel godsdienstig zijn, maar ze geloven niet werkelijk in God. Blijf vér bij dat soort mensen vandaan. ⁶Zulke mensen komen met smoesjes de huizen binnen. Dan krijgen ze met hun praatjes goedgelovige vrouwen in hun macht. Vooral vrouwen die verkeerde dingen doen en maar doen waar ze zin in hebben. ⁷Zulke vrouwen blijven aldoor vragen stellen, zonder ooit de waarheid van God te gaan geloven. Ze doen er niets mee. ⁸Zulke mensen verzetten zich tegen de waarheid. Net zoals de Egyptische tovenaars Jannes en Jambres zich vroeger tegen Mozes hebben verzet. Hun denken is bedorven en hun geloof deugt niet. ⁹Maar ze zullen niet lang hun gang kunnen gaan. Want hun onzin zal al gauw voor iedereen duidelijk worden. Net zoals bij Jannes en Jambres.

Goede raad aan Timoteüs

¹⁰Maar jij hebt altijd goed naar mij geluisterd. Je hebt goed gekeken hoe ik leefde. Je kent mijn bedoelingen, mijn geloof, mijn geduld, mijn liefde. ¹¹Je hebt gezien hoe ik heb volgehouden, ook toen ik veel moest lijden in Antiochië, Iconium en Lystra. Steeds heeft de Heer mij gered. ¹²Trouwens, alle mensen die in Jezus Christus geloven en God willen dienen, zullen worden vervolgd. ¹³Maar met schurken en bedriegers die alleen doen alsof ze bij de Heer horen, zal het steeds erger worden. Ze leren de mensen verkeerde dingen omdat ze zelf de waarheid niet kennen.

¹⁴Maar jij, Timoteüs, houd vast aan wat je hebt geleerd. Vergeet nooit van wíe je het hebt geleerd. ¹⁵Al vanaf je kinderjaren ken je de Boeken. Door de Boeken kun je wijs en verstandig worden. Ze leren je hoe je door het geloof in Jezus Christus kan worden gered. ¹⁶Alles wat God daarin heeft laten opschrijven, is nuttig. Het kan de mensen iets leren, hen beschermen tegen verkeerd onderwijs over het geloof en hen opvoeden tot een leven zoals God het wil. ¹⁷Zo kunnen de mensen hun geloof ontwikkelen tot een volwassen geloof. Dan zullen ze geschikt zijn voor elke taak. (lees verder)

2 Timothy 3

New International Version

3 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.^(A) ²People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money,^(B) boastful, proud,^(C) abusive,^(D) disobedient to their parents,^(E) ungrateful, unholy, ³without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, ⁴treacherous,^(F) rash, conceited,^(G) lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— ⁵having a form of godliness^(H) but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.^(I)

⁶They 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, ⁷always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.^(K) ⁸Just 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. ⁹But 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

¹⁰You, however, know all about my teaching,^(P) my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, ¹¹persecutions, 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) ¹²In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,^(W) ¹³while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse,^(X) deceiving and being deceived.^(Y) ¹⁴But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,^(Z) ¹⁵and 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. ¹⁶All Scripture is God-breathed^(AD) and is useful for teaching,^(AE) rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,^(AF) ¹⁷so that the servant of God^[a]^(AG) may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.^(AH)

Perilous Times and Perilous Men

3 But know this, that ^(A)in the last days ^[a]perilous times will come: ²For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, ³unloving, ^[b]unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, ⁴^(B)traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, ⁵^(C)having a form of godliness but ^(D)denying its power. And ^(E)from such people turn away! ⁶For ^(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, ⁷always learning and never able ^(G)to come to the knowledge of the truth. ⁸^(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; ⁹but 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, ¹¹persecutions, 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. ¹²Yes, 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. ¹⁴But you must ^(S)continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, ¹⁵and 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.
