提摩太後書 3

末世的人性

1 你該知道，末世必有危險的日子來到。 2 因為那時，人要專顧自己，貪愛錢財，自誇，狂傲，謗讟，違背父母，忘恩負義，心不聖潔， 3 無親情，不解怨，好說讒言，不能自約，性情凶暴，不愛良善， 4 賣主賣友，任意妄為，自高自大，愛宴樂，不愛上帝， 5 有敬虔的外貌，卻背了敬虔的實意；這等人你要躲開。 6 那偷進人家、牢籠無知婦女的，正是這等人。這些婦女擔負罪惡，被各樣的私慾引誘， 7 常常學習，終久不能明白真道。 8 從前雅尼和佯庇怎樣敵擋摩西，這等人也怎樣敵擋真道。他們的心地壞了，在真道上是可廢棄的。 9 然而他們不能再這樣敵擋；因為他們的愚昧必在眾人面前顯露出來，像那二人一樣。

對提摩太的最後指示

10 但你已經服從了我的教訓、品行、志向、信心、寬容、愛心、忍耐， 11 以及我在安提阿、以哥念、路司得所遭遇的逼迫、苦難。我所忍受是何等的逼迫；但從這一切苦難中，主都把我救出來了。 12 不但如此，凡立志在基督耶穌裏敬虔度日的也都要受逼迫。 13 只是作惡的和迷惑人的，必越久越惡，他欺哄人，也被人欺哄。 14 但你所學習的，所確信的，要存在心裏；因為你知道是跟誰學的， 15 並且知道你是從小明白聖經，這聖經能使你因信基督耶穌，有得救的智慧。 16 聖經都是上帝所默示的t，於教訓、督責、使人歸正、教導人學義都是有益的， 17 叫屬上帝的人得以完全，預備行各樣的善事。

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.
