GNT

1 τοῦτο δὲ γίνωσκε, ὅτι ἐν ἐσχάταις ἡμέραις ἐνστήσονται καιροὶ χαλεποί·

2 ἔσονται γὰρ οἱ ἄνθρωποι φίλαυτοι, φιλάργυροι, ἀλαζόνες, ὑπερήφανοι, βλάσφημοι, γονεῦσιν ἀπειθεῖς, ἀχάριστοι, ἀνόσιοι,

3 ἄστοργοι, ἄσπονδοι, διάβολοι, ἀκρατεῖς, ἀνήμεροι, ἀφιλάγαθοι,

4 προδόται, προπετεῖς, τετυφωμένοι, φιλήδονοι μᾶλλον ἢ φιλόθεοι,

5 ἔχοντες μόρφωσιν εὐσεβείας τὴν δὲ δύναμιν αὐτῆς ἠρνημένοι· καὶ τούτους ἀποτρέπου.

6 ἐκ τούτων γάρ εἰσιν οἱ ἐνδύνοντες εἰς τὰς οἰκίας καὶ αἰχμαλωτίζοντες γυναικάρια σεσωρευμένα ἁμαρτίαις, ἀγόμενα ἐπιθυμίαις ποικίλαις,

7 πάντοτε μανθάνοντα καὶ μηδέποτε εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας ἐλθεῖν δυνάμενα.

8 ὃν τρόπον δὲ ἰάννης καὶ ἰαμβρῆς ἀντέστησαν μωϊσεῖ, οὕτως καὶ οὖτοι ἀνθίστανται τῇ ἀληθείᾳ, ἄνθρωποι κατεφθαρμένοι τὸν νοῦν, ἀδόκιμοι περὶ τὴν πίστιν·

9 ἀλλ᾽ οὐ προκόψουσιν ἐπὶ πλεῖον, ἡ γὰρ ἄνοια αὐτῶν ἔκδηλος ἔσται πᾶσιν, ὡς καὶ ἡ ἐκείνων ἐγένετο.

10 σὺ δὲ παρηκολούθησάς μου τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ, τῇ ἀγωγῇ, τῇ προθέσει, τῇ πίστει, τῇ μακροθυμίᾳ, τῇ ἀγάπῃ, τῇ ὑπομονῇ,

11 τοῖς διωγμοῖς, τοῖς παθήμασιν, οἷά μοι ἐγένετο ἐν ἀντιοχείᾳ, ἐν ἰκονίῳ, ἐν λύστροις, οἵους διωγμοὺς ὑπήνεγκα· καὶ ἐκ πάντων με ἐρρύσατο ὁ κύριος.

12 καὶ πάντες δὲ οἱ θέλοντες εὐσεβῶς ζῆν ἐν χριστῶ ἰησοῦ διωχθήσονται·

13 πονηροὶ δὲ ἄνθρωποι καὶ γόητες προκόψουσιν ἐπὶ τὸ χεῖρον, πλανῶντες καὶ πλανώμενοι.

14 σὺ δὲ μένε ἐν οἷς ἔμαθες καὶ ἐπιστώθης, εἰδὼς παρὰ τίνων ἔμαθες,

15 καὶ ὅτι ἀπὸ βρέφους [τὰ] ἱερὰ γράμματα οἶδας, τὰ δυνάμενά σε σοφίσαι εἰς σωτηρίαν διὰ πίστεως τῆς ἐν χριστῶ ἰησοῦ.

16 πᾶσα γραφὴ θεόπνευστος καὶ ὠφέλιμος πρὸς διδασκαλίαν, πρὸς ἐλεγμόν, πρὸς ἐπανόρθωσιν, πρὸς παιδείαν τὴν ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ,

17 ἵνα ἄρτιος ᾖ ὁ τοῦ θεοῦ ἄνθρωπος, πρὸς πᾶν ἔργον ἀγαθὸν ἐξηρτισμένος.

1  This⁵¹²⁴ know¹⁰⁹⁷ also,¹¹⁶¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ in¹⁷²² the last²⁰⁷⁸ days²²⁵⁰ perilous⁵⁴⁶⁷ times²⁵⁴⁰ shall come.¹⁷⁶⁴

2  For¹⁰⁶³ men⁴⁴⁴ shall be²⁰⁷¹ lovers of their own selves,⁵³⁶⁷ covetous,⁵³⁶⁶ boasters,²¹³ proud,⁵²⁴⁴ blasphemers,⁹⁸⁹ disobedient⁵⁴⁵ to parents,¹¹¹⁸ unthankful,⁸⁸⁴ unholy,⁴⁶²

3  Without natural affection,⁷⁹⁴ trucebreakers,⁷⁸⁶ false accusers,¹²²⁸ incontinent,¹⁹³ fierce,⁴³⁴ despisers of those that are good,⁸⁶⁵

4  Traitors,⁴²⁷³ heady,⁴³¹² highminded,⁵¹⁸⁷ lovers of pleasures⁵³⁶⁹ more³¹²³ than²²²⁸ lovers of God;⁵³⁷⁷

5  Having²¹⁹² a form³⁴⁴⁶ of godliness,²¹⁵⁰ but¹¹⁶¹ denying⁷²⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ power¹⁴¹¹ thereof:⁸⁴⁶ from such turn away.^{665 5128}

6  For¹⁰⁶³ of¹⁵³⁷ this sort⁵¹³⁰ are¹⁵²⁶ they which creep¹⁷⁴⁴ into¹⁵¹⁹ houses,³⁶¹⁴ and²⁵³² lead captive¹⁶² silly women¹¹³³ laden⁴⁹⁸⁷ with sins,²⁶⁶ led away⁷¹ with divers⁴¹⁶⁴ lusts,¹⁹³⁹

7  Ever³⁸⁴² learning,³¹²⁹ and²⁵³² never³³⁶⁸ able¹⁴¹⁰ to come²⁰⁶⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ the knowledge¹⁹²² of the truth.²²⁵

8  Now¹¹⁶¹ as^{3739 5158} Jannes²³⁸⁹ and²⁵³² Jambres²³⁸⁷ withstood⁴³⁶ Moses,³⁴⁷⁵ so³⁷⁷⁹ do these³⁷⁷⁸ also²⁵³² resist⁴³⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ truth:²²⁵ men⁴⁴⁴ of corrupt²⁷⁰⁴ minds,³⁵⁶³ reprobate⁹⁶ concerning⁴⁰¹² the³⁵⁸⁸ faith.⁴¹⁰²

9  But²³⁵ they shall proceed⁴²⁹⁸ no³⁷⁵⁶ further:^{1909 4119} for¹⁰⁶³ their⁸⁴⁶ folly⁴⁵⁴ shall be²⁰⁷¹ manifest¹⁵⁵² unto all³⁹⁵⁶ men, as⁵⁶¹³ theirs¹⁵⁶⁵ also²⁵³² was.¹⁰⁹⁶

10  But¹¹⁶¹ thou⁴⁷⁷¹ hast fully known³⁸⁷⁷ my³⁴⁵⁰ doctrine,¹³¹⁹ manner of life,⁷² purpose,⁴²⁸⁶ faith,⁴¹⁰² longsuffering,³¹¹⁵ charity,²⁶ patience,⁵²⁸¹

11  Persecutions,¹³⁷⁵ afflictions,³⁸⁰⁴ which³⁶³⁴ came¹⁰⁹⁶ unto me³⁴²⁷ at¹⁷²² Antioch,⁴⁹⁰ at¹⁷²² Iconium,²⁴³⁰ at¹⁷²² Lystra;³⁰⁸² what³⁶³⁴ persecutions¹³⁷⁵ I endured:⁵²⁹⁷ but²⁵³² out of¹⁵³⁷ them all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² delivered⁴⁵⁰⁶ me.³¹⁶⁵

12  Yea,¹¹⁶¹ and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ that will²³⁰⁹ live²¹⁹⁸ godly²¹⁵³ in¹⁷²² Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ Jesus²⁴²⁴ shall suffer persecution.¹³⁷⁷

13  But¹¹⁶¹ evil⁴¹⁹⁰ men⁴⁴⁴ and²⁵³² seducers¹¹¹⁴ shall wax worse and worse,^{4298 1909 5501} deceiving,⁴¹⁰⁵ and²⁵³² being deceived.⁴¹⁰⁵

14  But¹¹⁶¹ continue³³⁰⁶ thou⁴⁷⁷¹ in¹⁷²² the things which³⁷³⁹ thou hast learned³¹²⁹ and²⁵³² hast been assured of,⁴¹⁰⁴ knowing¹⁴⁹² of³⁸⁴⁴ whom⁵¹⁰¹ thou hast learned³¹²⁹ them;

15  And²⁵³² that³⁷⁵⁴ from⁵⁷⁵ a child¹⁰²⁵ thou hast known¹⁴⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ holy²⁴¹³ Scriptures,¹¹²¹ which are able¹⁴¹⁰ to make thee wise^{4679 4571} unto¹⁵¹⁹ salvation⁴⁹⁹¹ through¹²²³ faith⁴¹⁰² which³⁵⁸⁸ is in¹⁷²² Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ Jesus.²⁴²⁴

16  All³⁹⁵⁶ Scripture¹¹²⁴ is given by inspiration of God,²³¹⁵ and²⁵³² is profitable⁵⁶²⁴ for⁴³¹⁴ doctrine,¹³¹⁹ for⁴³¹⁴ reproof,¹⁶⁵⁰ for⁴³¹⁴ correction,¹⁸⁸² for⁴³¹⁴ instruction³⁸⁰⁹ in¹⁷²² righteousness:¹³⁴³

17  That²⁴⁴³ the³⁵⁸⁸ man⁴⁴⁴ of God²³¹⁶ may be⁵⁶⁰⁰ perfect,⁷³⁹ thoroughly furnished¹⁸²² unto⁴³¹⁴ all³⁹⁵⁶ good¹⁸ works.²⁰⁴¹

Vul

1 Hoc autem scito, quod in novissimis diebus instabunt tempora periculosa:

2 erunt homines seipsos amantes, cupidi, elati, superbi, blasphemi, parentibus non obedientes, ingrati, scelesti,

3 sine affectione, sine pace, criminatores, incontinentes, immites, sine benignitate,

4 proditores, protervi, tumidi, et voluptatum amatores magis quam Dei:

5 habentes speciem quidem pietatis, virtutem autem ejus abnegantes. Et hos devita:

6 ex his enim sunt qui penetrant domos, et captivas ducunt mulierculas oneratas peccatis, quæ ducuntur variis desideriis:

7 semper discentes, et numquam ad scientiam veritatis pervenientes.

8 Quemadmodum autem Jannes et Mambres restiterunt Moysi: ita et hi resistunt veritati, homines corrupti mente, reprobi circa fidem;

9 sed ultra non proficient: insipientia enim eorum manifesta erit omnibus, sicut et illorum fuit.

10 Tu autem assecutus es meam doctrinam, institutionem, propositum, fidem, longanimitatem, dilectionem, patientiam,

11 persecutiones, passiones: qualia mihi facta sunt Antiochiæ, Iconii, et Lystris: quales persecutiones sustinui, et ex omnibus eripuit me Dominus.

12 Et omnes, qui pie volunt vivere in Christo Jesu, persecutionem patientur.

13 Mali autem homines et seductores proficient in pejus, errantes, et in errorem mittentes.

14 Tu vero permane in iis quæ didicisti, et credita sunt tibi: sciens a quo didiceris:

15 et quia ab infantia sacras litteras nosti, quæ te possunt instruere ad salutem, per fidem quæ est in Christo Jesu.

16 Omnis Scriptura divinitus inspirata utilis est ad docendum, ad arguendum, ad corripiendum, et erudiendum in justitia:

17 ut perfectus sit homo Dei, ad omne opus bonum instructus.
