- Kapitel 3 -

1
And know this: that in the last days perilous times will press near.
2
Men will be lovers of themselves, greedy, self-exalting, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked,
3
without affection, without peace, false accusers, unchaste, cruel, without kindness,
4
traitorous, reckless, self-important, loving pleasure more than God,
5
even having the appearance of piety while rejecting its virtue. And so, avoid them.
6
For among these are ones who penetrate houses and lead away, like captives, foolish women burdened with sins, who are led away by means of various desires,
7
always learning, yet never achieving knowledge of the truth.
8
And in the same manner that Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so also will these resist the truth, men corrupted in mind, reprobates from the faith.(a)
9
But they will not advance beyond a certain point. For the folly of the latter shall be made manifest to all, just as that of the former.

All Scripture Is God-Breathed

(Hebrews 4:12–16)
10
But you have fully comprehended my doctrine, instruction, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,
11
persecutions, afflictions; such things as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra; how I endured persecutions, and how the Lord rescued me from everything.
12
And all those who willingly live the piety in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
13
But evil men and deceivers will advance in evil, erring and sending into error.
14
Yet truly, you should remain in those things which you have learned and which have been entrusted to you. For you know from whom you have learned them.
15
And, from your infancy, you have known the Sacred Scriptures, which are able to instruct you toward salvation, through the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16
All Scripture, having been divinely inspired, is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in justice,(b)
17
so that the man of God may be perfect, having been trained for every good work.

(b)3:16 All scripture,:Every part of divine scripture is certainly profitable for all these ends. But, if we would have the whole rule of Christian faith and practice, we must not be content with those Scriptures, which Timothy knew from his infancy, that is, with the Old Testament alone: nor yet with the New Testament, without taking along with it the traditions of the apostles, and the interpretation of the church, to which the apostles delivered both the book, and the true meaning of it.(Challoner)
1
But know this: that in the last days, grievous times will come.
2
For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3
without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, not lovers of good,
4
traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5
holding a form of godliness but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also.
6
For some of these are people who creep into houses and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,
7
always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8
Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind, who concerning the faith are rejected.
9
But they will proceed no further. For their folly will be evident to all men, as theirs also came to be.

All Scripture Is God-Breathed

(Hebrews 4:12–16)
10
But you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness,
11
persecutions, and sufferingsthose things that happened to me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I endured those persecutions. The Lord delivered me out of them all.
12
Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
13
But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14
But you remain in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them.
15
From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16
Every Scripture is God-breathed and (a) profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,
17
that each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
