提摩太後書 3

末世的情況

1 你應當知道，末後的日子必有艱難的時期來到。2 那時，人會專愛自己、貪愛錢財、自誇、高傲、褻瀆、悖逆父母、忘恩負義、不聖潔、3 沒有親情、不肯和解、惡言中傷、不能自律、橫蠻兇暴、不愛良善、4 賣主賣友、容易衝動、傲慢自大、愛享樂過於愛　神，5 有敬虔的形式，卻否定敬虔的能力；這些人你應當避開。6 他們中間有人潛入別人的家裡，操縱無知的婦女。這些婦女被罪壓住，又被各種私慾拖累，7 雖然常常學習，總不能充分明白真理。8 從前閻儡和閻悖怎樣反對摩西，這些人也怎樣反對真理。他們的心思敗壞，信仰也經不起考驗。

9 然而他們不能再這樣下去了，因為他們的愚昧終必在眾人面前顯露出來，好像那兩個人一樣。
聖經都是　神默示的
10 但是，你已經了解我的教訓、品行、志向、信心、寬容、愛心和忍耐，11 以及我在安提阿、以哥念、路司得所受的苦和迫害。我所忍受的是怎樣的迫害；這一切主都救我脫離了。12 其實，所有立志在基督耶穌裡過敬虔生活的，都必遭受迫害。13 但惡人和騙子必越來越壞，他們欺騙人，也必受欺騙。14 你應當遵守所學和確信的；你知道是跟誰學的，15 並且知道自己從小就明白聖經，這聖經能夠使你有智慧，可以因信基督耶穌得著救恩。16 全部聖經都是　神所默示的，在教訓、責備、矯正和公義的訓練各方面，都是有益的，

17 為要使屬　神的人裝備好，可以完成各樣的善工。

2 Timothy 3

Ministry in the Last Days

1 But understand this, that in the last days difficultt times will come.2 For peoplet will be lovers of themselves,t lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,3 unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, savage, opposed to what is good,4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, loving pleasure rather than loving God.5 They will maintain the outward appearancets of religion but will have repudiated its power. So avoid people like these.t6 For some of these insinuate themselvest into households and captivate weak woment who are overwhelmed with sins and led along by various passions.7 Such women are always seeking instruction,t yet never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.8 And just as Jannes and Jambress opposed Moses, so these people – who have warped minds and are disqualified in the faitht – also oppose the truth.

9 But they will not go much further,t for their foolishness will be obvious to everyone, just like it was with Jannes and Jambres.t

Continue in What You Have Learned

10 You, however,s have followed my teaching, myt way of life, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, my endurance,11 as well as the persecutions and sufferingst that happened to me in Antioch,s in Iconium, and in Lystra.ss I endured these persecutions and the Lord delivered me from them all.12 Now in fact all who want to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.13 But evil people and charlatans will go from bad to worse,t deceiving others and being deceived themselves.t14 You, however, must continuet in the things you have learned and are confident about. You knowt who taught yout15 and how from infancy you have known the holy writings, which are able to give you wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.16 Every scripturets is inspired by Gods and useful for teaching, for reproof,t for correction, and for training in righteousness,

17 that the person dedicated to Godt may be capablet and equipped for every good work.
