2.Timotheus 3 | Синодальный перевод

1 Знай же, что в последние дни наступят времена тяжкие.

2 Ибо люди будут самолюбивы, сребролюбивы, горды, надменны, злоречивы, родителям непокорны, неблагодарны, нечестивы, недружелюбны,

3 непримирительны, клеветники, невоздержны, жестоки, не любящие добра,

4 предатели, наглы, напыщенны, более сластолюбивы, нежели боголюбивы,

5 имеющие вид благочестия, силы же его отрекшиеся. Таковых удаляйся.

6 К сим принадлежат те, которые вкрадываются в домы и обольщают женщин, утопающих во грехах, водимых различными похотями,

7 всегда учащихся и никогда не могущих дойти до познания истины.

8 Как Ианний и Иамврий противились Моисею, так и сии противятся истине, люди, развращенные умом, невежды в вере.

9 Но они не много успеют; ибо их безумие обнаружится перед всеми, как и с теми случилось.

10 А ты последовал мне в учении, житии, расположении, вере, великодушии, любви, терпении,

11 в гонениях, страданиях, постигших меня в Антиохии, Иконии, Листрах; каковые гонения я перенес, и от всех избавил меня Господь.

12 Да и все, желающие жить благочестиво во Христе Иисусе, будут гонимы.

13 Злые же люди и обманщики будут преуспевать во зле, вводя в заблуждение и заблуждаясь.

14 А ты пребывай в том, чему научен и что тебе вверено, зная, кем ты научен.

15 Притом же ты из детства знаешь священные писания, которые могут умудрить тебя во спасение верою во Христа Иисуса.

16 Все Писание богодухновенно и полезно для научения, для обличения, для исправления, для наставления в праведности,

17 да будет совершен Божий человек, ко всякому доброму делу приготовлен.

New International Reader’s Version

1 Here is what I want you to know. There will be terrible times in the last days.

2 People will love themselves. They will love money. They will boast and be proud. They will tear others down. They will not obey their parents. They won’t be thankful or holy.

3 They won’t love others. They won’t forgive others. They will tell lies about people. They will be out of control. They will be wild. They will hate what is good.

4 They will turn against their friends. They will act without thinking. They will think they are better than others. They will love what pleases them instead of loving God.

5 They will act as if they were serving God. But what they do will show that they have turned their backs on God’s power. Have nothing to do with these people.

6 They are the kind who trick their way into the homes of some women. These women are ready to believe anything. And they take control over these women. These women are loaded down with sins. They give in to all kinds of evil desires.

7 They are always learning. But they are never able to come to know the truth.

8 Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses. In the same way, the teachers I’m talking about oppose the truth. Their minds are twisted. As far as the faith is concerned, God doesn’t accept them.

9 They won’t get very far. Just like Jannes and Jambres, their foolish ways will be clear to everyone.

Paul gives a final command to Timothy

10 But you know all about my teaching. You know how I live and what I live for. You know about my faith and love. You know how patient I am. You know I haven’t given up.

11 You know that I was treated badly. You know that I suffered greatly. You know what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra. You know how badly I have been treated. But the Lord saved me from all my troubles.

12 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be treated badly.

13 Evil people and pretenders will go from bad to worse. They will fool others, and others will fool them.

14 But I want you to continue to follow what you have learned and are sure about. You know the people you learned it from.

15 You have known the Holy Scriptures ever since you were a little child. They are able to teach you how to be saved by believing in Christ Jesus.

16 God has breathed life into all Scripture. It is useful for teaching us what is true. It is useful for correcting our mistakes. It is useful for making our lives whole again. It is useful for training us to do what is right.

17 By using Scripture, the servant of God can be completely prepared to do every good thing.
