提摩太後書 3

1 你應知道：在末日，困難的時期必要來臨，

But know this, that in the last days terrible times will come.

2 因為那時人只愛自己、愛錢、矜誇、驕傲、謾罵、不考順父母、忘恩、負義、不虔敬、

For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 無慈愛、難和解、善誹謗、無節制、無仁心、不樂善、

unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, hateful of good,

4 背信、魯莽、自大。愛快樂勝過愛天主；

treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

5 他們雖有虔敨的外貌，卻背棄了虔敨的實質；這等人，你務要躲。

holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof. Turn away from these, also.

6 因為他們中，有的潛入入人家中，獵取那些滿身罪惡，及被各種邪慾吸引的婦女；

For among them are those who crawl into households and take captive weak-willed women weighed down with sins, led away by various passions and pleasures,

7 這些婦女雖時常學習，但總達不明白真理的地步。

always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

8 如從前雅乃斯和楊布勒反抗梅瑟，照樣這等人也反抗了真理。他們的心術敗壞了，在信德上是不可靠的。

Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so do these also oppose the truth; people corrupted in mind, disapproved concerning the faith.

9 但他們再不能有所成就，因為他們的愚昧將要暴露在人前，如同那兩個人一樣。

But they will proceed no further. For their folly will be evident to all, as theirs also was.

10 至於你，你卻追隨了我的教訓，我度日的態、志向、信心、堅忍、愛心、容忍、

But you did follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness,

11 我受的迫害和苦難，即我在安提約基雅。依科尼雍、呂斯特辣所遭受的事；那時我受了何等的迫害，主卻從這一切中救出了我。

persecutions, and sufferings: those things that happened to me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I endured those persecutions. Out of them all the Lord delivered me.

12 凡是在耶穌基督內熱心生活的人，必須遭受迫害。

Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

13 但是是惡人和行詐術的人卻越來越壞，他們迷惑人，也必受人迷惑。

But evil people and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

14 然而你要堅持你所學所信的事，你知道你是由誰學來的。

But you remain in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them.

15 你自幼便通曉了聖經，這聖經能使你憑著那在基督耶穌內的信德，獲得得救的智慧。

From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith, which is in Christ Jesus.

16 凡受天主默感所寫的聖經，為教訓，為矯正，為教導人學正義，都是有益的，

All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,

17 好使天主的人成全，適於行各種善工。

that the person of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
