2 Timothy 3 – KJV & CCBT

King James Version

2 Timothy 3:1-17

1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. 10But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

提摩太後書 3:1-17

末世的情形

1你要知道,末世必有艱難的日子, 2因為那時的人都自私自利、貪愛錢財、狂妄自誇、驕傲自負、說毀謗話、違背父母、忘恩負義、心不聖潔、 3冷漠無情、不願和解、好說讒言、毫無節制、蠻橫兇暴、不愛良善、 4出賣朋友、任意妄為、自高自大、沉溺享樂、不愛上帝, 5虛有敬虔的外表,卻無敬虔的實質。你要避開這樣的人。

6這些人溜進別人家裡,哄騙那些意志薄弱的婦女。那些婦女心中充滿罪惡,受各種邪情私慾的驅使, 7雖然常常學習,卻不能明白真理。 8現在這些人敵對真理,就像從前雅尼佯庇反對摩西一樣,他們的心思壞透了,他們的信仰是虛假的。 9不過,他們猖狂不了多久,因為他們的愚昧行徑必暴露在眾人面前,就像雅尼佯庇的下場一樣。

聖經的益處

10但你熟知我的教導、言行、志向、信心、忍耐、愛心、毅力, 11也知道我在安提阿以哥念路司得遭遇了何等的迫害和苦難。但主從這一切患難中救了我。 12其實凡立志在基督耶穌裡過敬虔生活的人都會受到迫害。 13而惡人和騙子會變本加厲地迷惑人,也被人迷惑。

14但你要把自己所學的、所篤信的記在心裡,因為你知道是跟誰學的, 15並且你從小就熟悉聖經。聖經能給你智慧,使你藉著信基督耶穌得到拯救。 16聖經全部是上帝啟示的,有益於教導、督責、使人歸正、培養人行義, 17使屬上帝的人得到充分的裝備,去行各種善事。
