PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 τουτο δε γινωσκε οτι εν εσχαταισ ημεραισ ενστησονται καιροι χαλεποι
1 Τοῦτο δὲ γίνωσκε, ὅτι ἐν ἐσχάταις ἡμέραις ἐνστήσονται καιροὶ χαλεποί·
2 εσονται γαρ οι ανθρωποι φιλαυτοι φιλαργυροι αλαζονεσ υπερηφανοι βλασφημοι γονευσιν απειθεισ αχαριστοι ανοσιοι
2 ἔσονται γὰρ οἱ ἄνθρωποι φίλαυτοι, φιλάργυροι, ἀλαζόνες, ὑπερήφανοι, βλάσφημοι, γονεῦσιν ἀπειθεῖς, ἀχάριστοι, ἀνόσιοι,
3 αστοργοι ασπονδοι διαβολοι ακρατεισ ανημεροι αφιλαγαθοι
3 ἄστοργοι, ἄσπονδοι, διάβολοι, ἀκρατεῖς, ἀνήμεροι, ἀφιλάγαθοι,
4 προδοται προπετεισ τετυφωμενοι φιληδονοι μαλλον η φιλοθεοι
4 προδόται, προπετεῖς, τετυφωμένοι, φιλήδονοι μᾶλλον ἢ φιλόθεοι,
5 εχοντεσ μορφωσιν ευσεβειασ την δε δυναμιν αυτησ ηρνημενοι και τουτουσ αποτρεπου
5 ἔχοντες μόρφωσιν εὐσεβείας, τὴν δὲ δύναμιν αὐτῆς ἠρνημένοι. καὶ τούτους ἀποτρέπου.
6 εκ τουτων γαρ εισιν οι ενδυνοντεσ εισ τασ οικιασ και αιχμαλωτευοντεσ γυναικαρια σεσωρευμενα αμαρτιαισ αγομενα επιθυμιαισ ποικιλαισ
6 ἐκ τούτων γάρ εἰσιν οἱ ἐνδύνοντες εἰς τὰς οἰκίας καὶ αἰχμαλωτίζοντες γυναικάρια σεσωρευμένα ἁμαρτίαις, ἀγόμενα ἐπιθυμίαις ποικίλαις,
7 παντοτε μανθανοντα και μηδεποτε εισ επιγνωσιν αληθειασ ελθειν δυναμενα
7 πάντοτε μανθάνοντα καὶ μηδέποτε εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας ἐλθεῖν δυνάμενα.
8 ον τροπον δε ιαννησ και ιαμβρησ αντεστησαν μωυση ουτωσ και ουτοι ανθιστανται τη αληθεια ανθρωποι κατεφθαρμενοι τον νουν αδοκιμοι περι την πιστιν
8 ὃν τρόπον δὲ Ἰαννῆς καὶ Ἰαμβρῆς ἀντέστησαν Μωϋσεῖ, οὕτω καὶ οὗτοι ἀνθίστανται τῇ ἀληθείᾳ, ἄνθρωποι κατεφθαρμένοι τὸν νοῦν, ἀδόκιμοι περὶ τὴν πίστιν.
9 αλλ ου προκοψουσιν επι πλειον η γαρ ανοια αυτων εκδηλοσ εσται πασιν ωσ και η εκεινων εγενετο
9 ἀλλ᾽ οὐ προκόψουσιν ἐπὶ πλεῖον· ἡ γὰρ ἄνοια αὐτῶν ἔκδηλος ἔσται πᾶσιν, ὡς καὶ ἡ ἐκείνων ἐγένετο.
10 συ δε παρηκολουθηκασ μου τη διδασκαλια τη αγωγη τη προθεσει τη πιστει τη μακροθυμια τη αγαπη τη υπομονη
10 Σὺ δὲ παρηκολούθηκάς μου τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ, τῇ ἀγωγῇ, τῇ προθέσει, τῇ πίστει, τῇ μακροθυμίᾳ, τῇ ἀγάπῃ, τῇ ὑπομονῇ,
11 τοισ διωγμοισ τοισ παθημασιν οια μοι εγενετο εν αντιοχεια εν ικονιω εν λυστροισ οιουσ διωγμουσ υπηνεγκα και εκ παντων με ερρυσατο ο κυριοσ
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 και παντεσ δε οι θελοντεσ ευσεβωσ ζην εν χριστω ιησου διωχθησονται
12 καὶ πάντες δὲ οἱ θέλοντες εὐσεβῶς ζῆν ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ διωχθήσονται·
13 πονηροι δε ανθρωποι και γοητεσ προκοψουσιν επι το χειρον πλανωντεσ και πλανωμενοι
13 πονηροὶ δὲ ἄνθρωποι καὶ γόητες προκόψουσιν ἐπὶ τὸ χεῖρον, πλανῶντες καὶ πλανώμενοι.
14 συ δε μενε εν οισ εμαθεσ και επιστωθησ ειδωσ παρα τινοσ εμαθεσ
14 σὺ δὲ μένε ἐν οἷς ἔμαθες καὶ ἐπιστώθης, εἰδὼς παρὰ τίνος ἔμαθες,
15 και οτι απο βρεφουσ τα ιερα γραμματα οιδασ τα δυναμενα σε σοφισαι εισ σωτηριαν δια πιστεωσ τησ εν χριστω ιησου
15 καὶ ὅτι ἀπὸ βρέφους τὰ ἱερὰ γράμματα οἶδας, τὰ δυνάμενά σε σοφίσαι εἰς σωτηρίαν διὰ πίστεως τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ.
16 πασα γραφη θεοπνευστοσ και ωφελιμοσ προσ διδασκαλιαν προσ ελεγχον προσ επανορθωσιν προσ παιδειαν την εν δικαιοσυνη
16 πᾶσα γραφὴ θεόπνευστος καὶ ὠφέλιμος πρὸς διδασκαλίαν, πρὸς ἔλεγχον, πρὸς ἐπανόρθωσιν, πρὸς παιδείαν τὴν ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ,
17 ινα αρτιοσ η ο του θεου ανθρωποσ προσ παν εργον αγαθον εξηρτισμενοσ
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 …
