YLT Young's Literal Translation
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 And this know thou, that in the last days there shall come perilous times,
1 ESTO también sepas, que en los postreros días vendrán tiempos peligrosos:
2 for men shall be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, evil-speakers, to parents disobedient, unthankful, unkind,
2 Que habrá hombres amadores de sí mismos, avaros, vanagloriosos, soberbios, detractores, desobedientes á los padres, ingratos, sin santidad,
3 without natural affection, implacable, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, not lovers of those who are good,
3 Sin afecto, desleales, calumniadores, destemplados, crueles, aborrecedores de lo bueno,
4 traitors, heady, lofty, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God,
4 Traidores, arrebatados, hinchados, amadores de los deleites más que de Dios;
5 having a form of piety, and its power having denied; and from these be turning away,
5 Teniendo apariencia de piedad, mas habiendo negado la eficacia de ella: y á éstos evita.
6 for of these there are those coming into the houses and leading captive the silly women, laden with sins, led away with desires manifold,
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 always learning, and never to a knowledge of truth able to come,
7 Que siempre aprenden, y nunca pueden acabar de llegar al conocimiento de la verdad.
8 and, even as Jannes and Jambres stood against Moses, so also these do stand against the truth, men corrupted in mind, disapproved 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 not advance any further, for their folly shall be manifest to all, as theirs also did become.
9 Mas no prevalecerán; porque su insensatez será manifiesta á todos, como también lo fué la de aquéllos.
10 And thou — thou hast followed after my teaching, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, love, endurance,
10 Pero tú has comprendido mi doctrina, instrucción, intento, fe, largura de ánimo, caridad, paciencia,
11 the persecutions, the afflictions, that befell me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of all the Lord did deliver 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 and all also who will to live piously in Christ Jesus shall be persecuted,
12 Y también todos los que quieren vivir píamente en Cristo Jesús, padecerán persecución.
13 and evil men and impostors shall advance to the worse, leading astray and being led astray.
13 Mas los malos hombres y los engañadores, irán de mal en peor, engañando y siendo engañados.
14 And thou — be remaining in the things which thou didst learn and wast entrusted with, having known from whom thou didst learn,
14 Empero persiste tú en lo que has aprendido y te persuadiste, sabiendo de quién has aprendido;
15 and because from a babe the Holy Writings thou hast known, which are able to make thee wise — to salvation, through faith that [is] in Christ Jesus;
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 every Writing [is] God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction that [is] in righteousness,
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 fitted — for every good work having been completed.
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 …

  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 …
