2 Ti-mô-thê

末世的人性

1你该知道，末世必有危险的日子来到。

2因为那时，人要专顾自己，贪爱钱财，自夸，狂傲，谤 ，违背父母，忘恩负义，心不圣洁，

3无亲情，不解怨，好说谗言，不能自约，性情凶暴，不爱良善，

4卖主卖友，任意妄为，自高自大，爱宴乐，不爱 神，

5有敬虔的外貌，却背了敬虔的实意；这等人你要躲开。

6那偷进人家、牢笼无知妇女的，正是这等人。这些妇女担负罪恶，被各样的私欲引诱，

7常常学习，终久不能明白真道。

8从前雅尼和佯庇怎样敌挡摩西，这等人也怎样敌挡真道。他们的心地坏了，在真道上是可废弃的。

9然而他们不能再这样敌挡；因为他们的愚昧必在众人面前显露出来，像那二人一样。

对提摩太的最后指示

10但你已经服从了我的教训、品行、志向、信心、宽容、爱心、忍耐，

11以及我在安提阿、以哥念、路司得所遭遇的逼迫、苦难。我所忍受是何等的逼迫；但从这一切苦难中，主都把我救出来了。

12不但如此，凡立志在基督耶稣里敬虔度日的也都要受逼迫。

13只是作恶的和迷惑人的，必越久越恶，他欺哄人，也被人欺哄。

14但你所学习的，所确信的，要存在心里；因为你知道是跟谁学的，

15并且知道你是从小明白圣经，这圣经能使你因信基督耶稣，有得救的智慧。

16圣经都是 神所默示的，于教训、督责、使人归正、教导人学义都是有益的，

17叫属 神的人得以完全，预备行各样的善事。

1And this know thou, that in the last days there shall come perilous times,

2for men shall be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, evil-speakers, to parents disobedient, unthankful, unkind,

3without natural affection, implacable, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, not lovers of those who are good,

4traitors, heady, lofty, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God,

5having a form of piety, and its power having denied; and from these be turning away,

6for of these there are those coming into the houses and leading captive the silly women, laden with sins, led away with desires manifold,

7always learning, and never to a knowledge of truth able to come,

8and, even as Jannes and Jambres stood against Moses, so also these do stand against the truth, men corrupted in mind, disapproved concerning the faith;

9but they shall not advance any further, for their folly shall be manifest to all, as theirs also did become.

10And thou — thou hast followed after my teaching, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, love, endurance,

11the persecutions, the afflictions, that befell me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of all the Lord did deliver me,

12and all also who will to live piously in Christ Jesus shall be persecuted,

13and evil men and impostors shall advance to the worse, leading astray and being led astray.

14And thou — be remaining in the things which thou didst learn and wast entrusted with, having known from whom thou didst learn,

15and because from a babe the Holy Writings thou hast known, which are able to make thee wise — to salvation, through faith that [is] in Christ Jesus;

16every Writing [is] God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction that [is] in righteousness,

17that the man of God may be fitted — for every good work having been completed.
