2 Timothy 3

Authored by: American Standard Version
3:1
Τουτο δε γινωσκε οτι εν εσχαταις ημεραις ενστησονται καιροι χαλεποι
But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come.
3:2
εσονται γαρ οι ανθρωποι φιλαυτοι φιλαργυροι αλαζονες υπερηφανοι βλασφημοι γονευσιν απειθεις αχαριστοι ανοσιοι
For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3:3
αστοργοι ασπονδοι διαβολοι ακρατεις ανημεροι αφιλαγαθοι
without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good,
3:4
προδοται προπετεις τετυφωμενοι φιληδονοι μαλλον η φιλοθεοι
traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;
3:5
εχοντες μορφωσιν ευσεβειας την δε δυναμιν αυτης ηρνημενοι και τουτους αποτρεπου
holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof: from these also turn away.
3:6
Εκ τουτων γαρ εισιν οι ενδυνοντες εις τας οικιας και αιχμαλωτιζοντες γυναικαρια σεσωρευμενα αμαρτιαις αγομενα επιθυμιαις ποικιλαις
For of these are they that creep into houses, and take captive silly women laden with sins, led away by divers lusts,
3:7
παντοτε μανθανοντα και μηδεποτε εις επιγνωσιν αληθειας ελθειν δυναμενα
ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
3:8
ον τροπον δε Ιαννης και Ιαμβρης αντεστησαν Μωυσει ουτως και ουτοι ανθιστανται τη αληθεια ανθρωποι κατεφθαρμενοι τον νουν αδοκιμοι περι την πιστιν
And even as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth; men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.
3:9
αλλ ου προκοψουσιν επι πλειον η γαρ ανοια αυτων εκδηλος εσται πασιν ως και η εκεινων εγενετο
But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be evident unto all men, as theirs also came to be.
3:10
Συ δε παρηκολουθησας μου τη διδασκαλια τη αγωγη τη προθεσει τη πιστει τη μακροθυμια τη αγαπη τη υπομονη
But thou didst follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,
3:11
τοις διωγμοις τοις παθημασιν οια μοι εγενετο εν Αντιοχεια εν Ικονιω εν Λυστροις οιους διωγμους υπηνεγκα και εκ παντων με ερρυσατο ο Κυριος
persecutions, sufferings; what things befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: and out of them all the Lord delivered me.
3:12
και παντες δε οι θελοντες ευσεβως ζην εν Χριστω Ιησου διωχθησονται
Yea, and all that would live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
3:13
πονηροι δε ανθρωποι και γοητες προκοψουσιν επι το χειρον πλανωντες και πλανωμενοι
But evil men and impostors shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
3:14
Συ δε μενε εν οις εμαθες και επιστωθης ειδως παρα τινων εμαθες
But abide thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
3:15
και οτι απο βρεφους τα ιερα γραμματα οιδας τα δυναμενα σε σοφισαι εις σωτηριαν δια πιστεως της εν Χριστω Ιησου
and that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
3:16
πασα γραφη θεοπνευστος και ωφελιμος προς διδασκαλιαν προς ελεγμον προς επανορθωσιν προς παιδειαν την εν δικαιοσυνη
Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness:

3:17
ινα αρτιος η ο του Θεου ανθρωπος προς παν εργον αγαθον εξηρτισμενος
that the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.
