2 Timothy 3

The Message Bible MSG

1 Don't be naive. There are difficult times ahead.

2 As the end approaches, people are going to be self-absorbed, money-hungry, self-promoting, stuck-up, profane, contemptuous of parents, crude, coarse,

3 dog-eat-dog, unbending, slanderers, impulsively wild, savage, cynical,

4 treacherous, ruthless, bloated windbags, addicted to lust, and allergic to God.

5 They'll make a show of religion, but behind the scenes they're animals. Stay clear of these people.

6 These are the kind of people who smooth-talk themselves into the homes of unstable and needy women and take advantage of them; women who, depressed by their sinfulness, take up with every new religious fad that calls itself "truth."

7 They get exploited every time and never really learn.

8 These men are like those old Egyptian frauds Jannes and Jambres, who challenged Moses. They were rejects from the faith, twisted in their thinking, defying truth itself.

9 But nothing will come of these latest impostors. Everyone will see through them, just as people saw through that Egyptian hoax.

10 You've been a good apprentice to me, a part of my teaching, my manner of life, direction, faith, steadiness, love, patience,

11 troubles, sufferings - suffering along with me in all the grief I had to put up with in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. And you also well know that God rescued me!

12 Anyone who wants to live all out for Christ is in for a lot of trouble; there's no getting around it.

13 Unscrupulous con men will continue to exploit the faith. They're as deceived as the people they lead astray. As long as they are out there, things can only get worse.

14 But don't let it faze you. Stick with what you learned and believed, sure of the integrity of your teachers -

15 why, you took in the sacred Scriptures with your mother's milk! There's nothing like the written Word of God for showing you the way to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

16 Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another - showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God's way.

17 Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 hoc autem scito quod in novissimis diebus instabunt tempora periculosa

2 et erunt homines se ipsos amantes cupidi elati superbi blasphemi parentibus inoboedientes ingrati scelesti

3 sine affectione sine pace criminatores incontinentes inmites sine benignitate

4 proditores protervi tumidi voluptatium amatores magis quam Dei

5 habentes speciem quidem pietatis virtutem autem eius abnegantes et hos devita

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

7 semper discentes et numquam ad scientiam veritatis pervenientes

8 quemadmodum autem Iannes et Mambres restiterunt Mosi ita et hii 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 adsecutus es meam doctrinam institutionem propositum fidem longanimitatem dilectionem patientiam

11 persecutiones passiones qualia mihi facta sunt Antiochiae Iconii Lystris quales persecutiones sustinui et ex omnibus me eripuit Dominus

12 et omnes qui volunt pie vivere in Christo Iesu persecutionem patientur

13 mali autem homines et seductores proficient in peius errantes et in errorem mittentes

14 tu vero permane in his quae didicisti et credita sunt tibi sciens a quo didiceris

15 et quia ab infantia sacras litteras nosti quae te possint instruere ad salutem per fidem quae est in Christo Iesu

16 omnis scriptura divinitus inspirata et utilis ad docendum ad arguendum ad corrigendum ad erudiendum in iustitia

17 ut perfectus sit homo Dei ad omne opus bonum instructus
