PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 También debes saber esto: en los últimos días vendrán tiempos difíciles.
1 Τοῦτο δὲ γίνωσκε, ὅτι ἐν ἐσχάταις ἡμέραις ἐνστήσονται καιροὶ χαλεποί·
2 Porque los hombres serán amantes de sí mismos, amantes del dinero, orgullosos, arrogantes, blasfemos, desobedientes a los padres, ingratos e impíos.
2 ἔσονται γὰρ οἱ ἄνθρωποι φίλαυτοι, φιλάργυροι, ἀλαζόνες, ὑπερήφανοι, βλάσφημοι, γονεῦσιν ἀπειθεῖς, ἀχάριστοι, ἀνόσιοι,
3 Serán sin cariño natural, implacables, calumniadores, sin dominio propio, crueles y enemigos de lo bueno.
3 ἄστοργοι, ἄσπονδοι, διάβολοι, ἀκρατεῖς, ἀνήμεροι, ἀφιλάγαθοι,
4 Serán traidores, impulsivos, llenos de orgullo, amantes de los placeres más que de Dios.
4 προδόται, προπετεῖς, τετυφωμένοι, φιλήδονοι μᾶλλον ἢ φιλόθεοι,
5 Tendrán apariencia de piedad, pero negarán su poder. Apártate de tales personas.
5 ἔχοντες μόρφωσιν εὐσεβείας, τὴν δὲ δύναμιν αὐτῆς ἠρνημένοι. καὶ τούτους ἀποτρέπου.
6 Porque de estos son los que se meten en las casas y llevan cautivas a mujeres débiles, cargadas de pecados y arrastradas por diversos malos deseos.
6 ἐκ τούτων γάρ εἰσιν οἱ ἐνδύνοντες εἰς τὰς οἰκίας καὶ αἰχμαλωτίζοντες γυναικάρια σεσωρευμένα ἁμαρτίαις, ἀγόμενα ἐπιθυμίαις ποικίλαις,
7 Siempre están aprendiendo, pero nunca pueden llegar al conocimiento de la verdad.
7 πάντοτε μανθάνοντα καὶ μηδέποτε εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας ἐλθεῖν δυνάμενα.
8 Así como Janes y Jambres se opusieron a Moisés, también estos se oponen a la verdad. Son hombres de mente corrompida, reprobados en cuanto a la fe.
8 ὃν τρόπον δὲ Ἰαννῆς καὶ Ἰαμβρῆς ἀντέστησαν Μωϋσεῖ, οὕτω καὶ οὗτοι ἀνθίστανται τῇ ἀληθείᾳ, ἄνθρωποι κατεφθαρμένοι τὸν νοῦν, ἀδόκιμοι περὶ τὴν πίστιν.
9 Pero no avanzarán mucho más, porque su necedad será evidente para todos, como también lo fue la de aquellos dos.
9 ἀλλ᾽ οὐ προκόψουσιν ἐπὶ πλεῖον· ἡ γὰρ ἄνοια αὐτῶν ἔκδηλος ἔσται πᾶσιν, ὡς καὶ ἡ ἐκείνων ἐγένετο.
10 Pero tú has seguido de cerca mi enseñanza, mi manera de vivir, mi propósito, mi fe, mi paciencia, mi amor y mi perseverancia.
10 Σὺ δὲ παρηκολούθηκάς μου τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ, τῇ ἀγωγῇ, τῇ προθέσει, τῇ πίστει, τῇ μακροθυμίᾳ, τῇ ἀγάπῃ, τῇ ὑπομονῇ,
11 También conoces mis persecuciones y sufrimientos, como los que me sucedieron en Antioquía, Iconio y Listra. ¡Cuántas persecuciones soporté! Y de todas me libró el Señor.
11 τοῖς διωγμοῖς, τοῖς παθήμασιν, οἷά μοι ἐγένοντο ἐν Ἀντιοχείᾳ, ἐν Ἰκονίῳ, ἐν Λύστροις. οἵους διωγμοὺς ὑπήνεγκα! καὶ ἐκ πάντων με ἐρρύσατο ὁ Κύριος.
12 En verdad, todos los que quieren vivir piadosamente en Cristo Jesús sufrirán persecución.
12 καὶ πάντες δὲ οἱ θέλοντες εὐσεβῶς ζῆν ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ διωχθήσονται·
13 Pero los hombres malos y engañadores irán de mal en peor, engañando y siendo engañados.
13 πονηροὶ δὲ ἄνθρωποι καὶ γόητες προκόψουσιν ἐπὶ τὸ χεῖρον, πλανῶντες καὶ πλανώμενοι.
14 Pero tú permanece en lo que aprendiste y creíste firmemente, sabiendo de quiénes lo aprendiste.
14 σὺ δὲ μένε ἐν οἷς ἔμαθες καὶ ἐπιστώθης, εἰδὼς παρὰ τίνος ἔμαθες,
15 Desde tu niñez conoces las Sagradas Escrituras, las cuales te pueden hacer sabio para la salvación por medio de la fe en Cristo Jesús.
15 καὶ ὅτι ἀπὸ βρέφους τὰ ἱερὰ γράμματα οἶδας, τὰ δυνάμενά σε σοφίσαι εἰς σωτηρίαν διὰ πίστεως τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ.
16 Toda la Escritura es inspirada por Dios y útil para enseñar, para reprender, para corregir y para instruir en justicia,
16 πᾶσα γραφὴ θεόπνευστος καὶ ὠφέλιμος πρὸς διδασκαλίαν, πρὸς ἔλεγχον, πρὸς ἐπανόρθωσιν, πρὸς παιδείαν τὴν ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ,
17 a fin de que el hombre de Dios sea completo, preparado para toda buena obra.
17 ἵνα ἄρτιος ᾖ ὁ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἄνθρωπος, πρὸς πᾶν ἔργον ἀγαθὸν ἐξηρτισμένος.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 3:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Second Timothy (Homily VII)

    He had said in the former Epistle, that "the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith" (1 Tim. iv.

  2. Quotes verse 3:7 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book IV, Chapter IX)

    For, being driven away from Him who truly is [God], and being turned backwards, he shall be for ever seeking, yet shall never find out God; but shall continually swim in an abyss without limits, unless, being converted by repentance, he return to the place from which he had been cast out, confessing one God, the Father, the Creator, and …

  3. Quotes verse 3:7 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book II)

    … a reply to every exception which you hear taken to what you read in it; for so you would become like those silly women of whom the apostle says that they are "always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." Chapter 2 — Recapitulation of the Contents of the First Book In the foregoing book, …

  5. Quotes verse 3:7 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book V, Chapter XIX)

    … inharmoniously, and foolishly, not keeping always to the same opinions with regard to the same things, as blind men are led by the blind, they shall deservedly fall into the ditch of ignorance lying in their path, ever seeking and never finding out the truth. It behoves us, therefore, to avoid their doctrines, and to take careful heed lest we …
