提摩太后书 3
末世的人性
1 你该知道，末世必有艰难的日子来到。 2 那时人会专爱自己，贪爱钱财，自夸，狂傲，毁谤，违背父母，忘恩负义，心不圣洁， 3 没有亲情，抗拒和解，好说谗言，不能节制，性情凶暴，不爱良善， 4 卖主卖友，任意妄为，自高自大，爱好宴乐，不爱上帝， 5 有敬虔的外貌，却背弃了敬虔的实质，这等人你要避开。 6 他们当中有人潜入别人家里，操纵无知的妇女；这些妇女被罪恶压制，被各样的私欲引诱， 7 虽然常常学习，终久无法达到明白真理的地步。 8 从前雅尼和佯庇怎样反对摩西，这等人也怎样抵挡真理；他们的心地败坏，信仰经不起考验。 9 然而，他们没有进步，因为他们的愚昧必在众人面前显露出来，像那两人一样。
对提摩太的最后指示
10 但你已经追随了我的教导、行为、志向、信心、宽容、爱心、忍耐， 11 以及我在安提阿、以哥念、路司得所遭遇的迫害和苦难。我忍受了何等的迫害！但从这一切苦难中，主都把我救了出来。 12 其实，凡立志在基督耶稣里敬虔度日的，也都将受迫害。 13 只是作恶的和骗人的将变本加厉，迷惑人也被人迷惑。 14 至于你，你要持守所学习的和所确信的，因为你知道是跟谁学的， 15 并且知道你从小明白圣经，这圣经能使你因在基督耶稣里的信t有得救的智慧。 16 圣经都是上帝所默示的t，于教训、督责、使人归正、教导人学义都是有益的， 17 叫属上帝的人得以完全，预备行各样的善事。
2 TIMOTHY 3
What People Will Be Like //in the Last Days
1 You can be certain that in the last days there will be some very hard times. 2 People will love only themselves and money. They will be proud, stuck-up, rude, and disobedient to their parents. They will also be ungrateful, godless, 3 heartless, and hateful. Their words will be cruel, and they will have no self-control or pity. These people will hate everything good. 4 They will be sneaky, reckless, and puffed up with pride. Instead of loving God, they will love pleasure.
5 Even though they will make a show of being religious, their religion won't be real. Don't have anything to do with such people.
6 Some men fool whole families, just to get power over those women who are slaves of sin and are controlled by all sorts of desires. 7 These women always want to learn something new, but they never can discover the truth. 8 t Just as Jannes and Jambrest opposed Moses, these people are enemies of the truth. Their minds are sick, and their faith isn't real.
9 But they won't get very far with their foolishness. Soon everyone will know the truth about them, just as Jannes and Jambres were found out.Paul's Last Instructions //to Timothy
10 Timothy, you know what I teach and how I live. You know what I want to do and what I believe. You have seen how patient and loving I am, and how in the past I put up with 11 t trouble and suffering in the cities of Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. Yet the Lord rescued me from all those terrible troubles. 12 In fact, anyone who belongs to Christ Jesus and wants to live right will have trouble from others.
13 But evil people who pretend to be what they are not will become worse than ever, as they fool others and are fooled themselves.
14 Keep on being faithful to what you were taught and to what you believed. After all, you know who taught you these things. 15 Since childhood, you have known the Holy Scriptures that are able to make you wise enough to have faith in Christ Jesus and be saved. 16 Everything in the Scriptures is God's Word. All of it is useful for teaching and helping people and for correcting them and showing them how to live. 17 The Scriptures train God's servants to do all kinds of good deeds.
