1 Debes saber que habrá momentos difíciles en los últimos días. 2 Habrá personas amadoras de sí mismas y del dinero. Serán jactanciosas, arrogantes, abusivas, desobedientes a sus padres, ingratas, y con ausencia de Dios en sus vidas. 3 Con crueldad y sin perdón calumniarán y carecerán de dominio propio. Serán personas despiadadas que odian el bien, 4 y engañarán a otros, con total desconsideración. Son personas absurdamente vanidosas, que viven con tanto interés por el placer que no se preocuparán por amar a Dios. 5 Estas personas podrían dar una impresión externa de piedad, pero realmente no creen en su eficacia. ¡Aléjate de tales personas! 6 Esa es la clase de personas que sutilmente entra a los hogares y toman el control de esas mujeres vulnerables que cargan con la culpa del pecado y se distraen con todo tipo de deseos. 7 Estas mujeres siempre están intentando aprender pero nunca pueden entender la verdad. 8 Así como Janes y Jambres se opusieron a Moisés, estos maestros también se oponen a la verdad. Son personas con mentes corruptas cuya supuesta fe en Dios es una mentira. 9 Pero estas personas no llegan muy lejos. Su ignorancia será evidente para todos, así como la de Janes y Jambres. 10 Pero tú conoces mi enseñanza y mi conducta, así como mi objetivo en la vida. Conoces mi fe en Dios y mi amor. Sabes lo que he tenido que soportar, 11 y cuánto he sufrido y he sido perseguido. Ya sabes lo que me sucedió en Antioquía, en Iconio y Listra, y las persecuciones que tuve y cómo el Señor me rescató de todas esas cosas. 12 Sin duda, todos los que quieren vivir una vida de devoción a Dios en Cristo Jesús experimentarán persecución, 13 mientras que las personas malas y los fraudulentos prosperen, siendo malos y después peores, engañando a los demás y engañándose ellos mismos también. 14 Pero tú mantente fiel a las cosas que has aprendido y que sabes que son verdaderas. Porque sabes quién te las enseñó. 15 Desde tu niñez has conocido las Escrituras que pueden darte entendimiento para la salvación por la fe en Cristo Jesús. 16 Toda la Escritura inspirada por Dios es útil para enseñar, para confrontar lo que está mal, para enderezar nuestro camino, y para enseñarnos lo recto. 17 Así es como Dios provee una preparación completa para aquellos que trabajan para él, para lograr todo lo que es bueno.

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).

  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 …
