2 Timothy 3
1 Be sure of this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
τουτο δε γινωσκε οτι εν εσχαταις ημεραις ενστησονται καιροι χαλεποι
2 People will be selfish, mercenary, boastful, haughty, and blasphemous; disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, impure,
εσονται γαρ οι ανθρωποι φιλαυτοι φιλαργυροι αλαζονες υπερηφανοι βλασφημοι γονευσιν απειθεις αχαριστοι ανοσιοι
3 incapable of affection, merciless, slanderous, wanting in self-control, brutal, careless of the right,
αστοργοι ασπονδοι διαβολοι ακρατεις ανημεροι αφιλαγαθοι
4 treacherous, reckless, and puffed up with pride; they will love pleasure more than they love God;
προδοται προπετεις τετυφωμενοι φιληδονοι μαλλον η φιλοθεοι
5 and while they retain the outward form of religion, they will not allow it to influence them. Turn your back on such people as these.
εχοντες μορφωσιν ευσεβειας την δε δυναμιν αυτης ηρνημενοι και τουτους αποτρεπου
6 For among them are to be found those who creep into homes and captivate weak women – women who, loaded with sins, and slaves to all kinds of passions,
εκ τουτων γαρ εισιν οι ενδυνοντες εις τας οικιας και αιχμαλωτιζοντες γυναικαρια σεσωρευμενα αμαρτιαις αγομενα επιθυμιαις ποικιλαις
7 are always learning, and yet never able to attain to a real knowledge of the truth.
παντοτε μανθανοντα και μηδεποτε εις επιγνωσιν αληθειας ελθειν δυναμενα
8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so do these people, in their turn, oppose the truth. Their minds are corrupted, and, as regards the faith, they are utterly worthless.
ον τροπον δε ιαννης και ιαμβρης αντεστησαν μωυσει ουτως και ουτοι ανθιστανται τη αληθεια ανθρωποι κατεφθαρμενοι τον νουν αδοκιμοι περι την πιστιν
9 They will not, however, make further progress; for their wicked folly will be plain to everyone, just as the folly Jannes and Jambres was.
αλλ ου προκοψουσιν επι πλειον η γαρ ανοια αυτων εκδηλος εσται πασιν ως και η εκεινων εγενετο
10 But you, Timothy, were a close observer of my teaching, my conduct, my purposes, my faith, my forbearance, my love, and my patient endurance,
συ δε παρηκολουθησας μου τη διδασκαλια τη αγωγη τη προθεσει τη πιστει τη μακροθυμια τη αγαπη τη υπομονη
11 as well as of my persecutions, and of the sufferings which I met with at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. You know what persecutions I underwent; and yet the Lord brought me safe out of all!
τοις διωγμοις τοις παθημασιν οια μοι εγενετο εν αντιοχεια εν ικονιω εν λυστροις οιους διωγμους υπηνεγκα και εκ παντων με ερρυσατο ο κυριος
12 Yes, and all who aim at living a religious life in union with Christ Jesus will have to suffer persecution;
και παντες δε οι θελοντες {VAR1: ζην ευσεβως } {VAR2: ευσεβως ζην } εν χριστω ιησου διωχθησονται
13 but wicked people and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving others and deceived themselves.
πονηροι δε ανθρωποι και γοητες προκοψουσιν επι το χειρον πλανωντες και πλανωμενοι
14 You, however, must stand by what you learnt and accepted as true. You know who they were from whom you learnt it;
συ δε μενε εν οις εμαθες και επιστωθης ειδως παρα τινων εμαθες
15 and that, from your childhood, you have known the sacred writings, which can give you the wisdom that, through belief in Christ Jesus, leads to salvation.
και οτι απο βρεφους {VAR2: [τα] } ιερα γραμματα οιδας τα δυναμενα σε σοφισαι εις σωτηριαν δια πιστεως της εν χριστω ιησου
16 All scripture is God-breathed: helpful for teaching, for refuting error, for giving guidance, and for training others in righteousness;
πασα γραφη θεοπνευστος και ωφελιμος προς διδασκαλιαν προς ελεγμον προς επανορθωσιν προς παιδειαν την εν δικαιοσυνη
17 so that God’s people may be capable and equipped for good work of every kind.
ινα αρτιος η ο του θεου ανθρωπος προς παν εργον αγαθον εξηρτισμενος
