Notes on this text (1)
- Original 16th-century spelling.
1 This knowe also, that in the last dayes shall come perilous times.
1 ESTO también sepas, que en los postreros días vendrán tiempos peligrosos:
2 For men shalbe louers of their owne selues, couetous, boasters, proud, cursed speakers, disobedient to parents, vnthankefull, vnholy,
2 Que habrá hombres amadores de sí mismos, avaros, vanagloriosos, soberbios, detractores, desobedientes á los padres, ingratos, sin santidad,
3 Without naturall affection, truce breakers, false accusers, intemperate, fierce, no louers at all of them which are good,
3 Sin afecto, desleales, calumniadores, destemplados, crueles, aborrecedores de lo bueno,
4 Traitours, headie, high minded, louers of pleasures more then louers of God,
4 Traidores, arrebatados, hinchados, amadores de los deleites más que de Dios;
5 Hauing a shewe of godlinesse, but haue denied the power thereof: turne away therefore from such.
5 Teniendo apariencia de piedad, mas habiendo negado la eficacia de ella: y á éstos evita.
6 For of this sort are they which creepe into houses, and leade captiue simple women laden with sinnes, and led with diuers lustes,
6 Porque de éstos son los que se entran por las casas, y llevan cautivas las mujercillas cargadas de pecados, llevadas de diversas concupiscencias;
7 Which women are euer learning, and are neuer able to come to the acknowledging of the trueth.
7 Que siempre aprenden, y nunca pueden acabar de llegar al conocimiento de la verdad.
8 And as Iannes and Iambres withstoode Moses, so doe these also resist the trueth, men of corrupt mindes, reprobate concerning the faith.
8 Y de la manera que Jannes y Jambres resistieron á Moisés, así también éstos resisten á la verdad; hombres corruptos de entendimiento, réprobos acerca de la fe.
9 But they shall preuaile no longer: for their madnesse shalbe euident vnto all men, as theirs also was.
9 Mas no prevalecerán; porque su insensatez será manifiesta á todos, como también lo fué la de aquéllos.
10 But thou hast fully knowen my doctrine, maner of liuing, purpose, faith, long suffering, loue, patience,
10 Pero tú has comprendido mi doctrina, instrucción, intento, fe, largura de ánimo, caridad, paciencia,
11 Persecutions, and afflictions which came vnto me at Antiochia, at Iconium, and at Lystri, which persecutions I suffered: but from them all the Lord deliuered me.
11 Persecuciones, aflicciones, cuales me sobrevinieron en Antioquía, en Iconio, en Listra, cuales persecuciones he sufrido; y de todas me ha librado el Señor.
12 Yea, and all that will liue godly in Christ Iesus, shall suffer persecution.
12 Y también todos los que quieren vivir píamente en Cristo Jesús, padecerán persecución.
13 But the euill men and deceiuers, shall waxe worse and worse, deceiuing, and being deceiued.
13 Mas los malos hombres y los engañadores, irán de mal en peor, engañando y siendo engañados.
14 But continue thou in the thinges which thou hast learned, and which are committed vnto thee, knowing of who thou hast learned them:
14 Empero persiste tú en lo que has aprendido y te persuadiste, sabiendo de quién has aprendido;
15 And that thou hast knowen the holy Scriptures of a childe, which are able to make thee wise vnto saluation, through the faith which is in Christ Iesus.
15 Y que desde la niñez has sabido las Sagradas Escrituras, las cuales te pueden hacer sabio para la salud por la fe que es en Cristo Jesús.
16 For the whole Scripture is giuen by inspiration of God, and is profitable to teache, to conuince, to correct, and to instruct in righteousnesse,
16 Toda Escritura [es] inspirada divinamente y útil para enseñar, para redargüir, para corregir, para instituir en justicia,
17 That the man of God may be absolute, being made perfect vnto all good workes.
17 Para que el hombre de Dios sea perfecto, enteramente instruído para toda buena obra.

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).
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.

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 …
… 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."

… 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 …
