2. Timotejovi 3

1 Vedz, že v posledných dňoch nastanú nebezpečné časy.2 Ľudia budú totiž sebeckí, chamtiví, chvastaví, pyšní, rúhaví, neposlušní voči rodičom, nevďační, bezbožní,3 bezcitní, nezmierliví, ohovárační, nezdržanliví, suroví, bez lásky k dobru,4 zradní, bezhlaví, nadutí, milujúci viac rozkoše ako Boha;5 budú mať výzor nábožnosti, ale jej silu budú popierať. A týchto sa chráň!6 Lebo z nich sú tí, čo sa vkrádajú do domov a podmaňujú si ľahké ženy, obťažené hriechmi a hnané rozličnými žiadostivosťami,7 ktoré sa stále učia, a nikdy nie sú schopné spoznať pravdu.8 Ako sa Jannes a Jambres postavili proti Mojžišovi, tak aj oni odporujú pravde. Sú to ľudia so zvrátenou mysľou, nespoľahliví vo viere.9 Ale ďaleko sa nedostanú, lebo všetkým bude zjavná ich nerozumnosť, ako bola aj tamtých.10 Ty si však nasledoval moje učenie, spôsob života, plány, vieru, zhovievavosť, lásku, trpezlivosť,11 prenasledovania a utrpenia, ktoré ma stihli v Antiochii, Ikóniu a v Lystre. A aké prenasledovania som podstúpil! Ale Pán ma vyslobodil zo všetkých.12 Veď všetci, čo chcú žiť nábožne v Kristovi Ježišovi, budú prenasledovaní.13 Ale zlí ľudia a zvodcovia budú spieť k horšiemu, budú strhávať do bludu a sami budú blúdiť.14 Ale ty vytrvaj v tom, čo si sa naučil a čo ti je zverené. Veď vieš, od koho si sa to naučil.15 Od útleho detstva poznáš Sväté písma, ktoré ti môžu dať poučenie na spásu skrze vieru, ktorá je v Kristovi Ježišovi.16 Celé Písmo je Bohom vnuknuté a užitočné na poúčanie, na usvedčovanie, na nápravu a na výchovu v spravodlivosti,17 aby bol Boží človek dokonalý a pripravený na každé dobré dielo.

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.
