2 Timothy 3

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
1 You may be quite sure that in the last days there will be some difficult times.	1 Γινωσκε δε τουτο, οτι εν ταις εσχαταις ημεραις θελουσιν ελθει καιροι κακοι?
2 People wil be self-centred and avaricious, boastful, arrogant and rude; disobedient to their parents,ungrateful, irreligious;	2 διοτι θελουσιν εισθαι οι ανθρωποι φιλαυτοι, φιλαργυροι, αλαζονες, υπερηφανοι, βλασφημοι, απειθεις εις τους γονεις, αχαριστοι, ανοσιοι,
3 heartless and intractable; they wil be slanderers, profligates, savages and enemies of everything that isgood;	3 ασπλαγχνοι, αδιαλλακτοι, συκοφανται, ακρατεις, ανημεροι, αφιλαγαθοι,
4 they wil be treacherous and reckless and demented by pride, preferring their own pleasure to God.	4 προδοται, προπετεις, τετυφωμενοι, φιληδονοι μαλλον παρα φιλοθεοι,
5 They wil keep up the outward appearance of religion but wil have rejected the inner power of it. Keepaway from people like that.	5 εχοντες μεν μορφην ευσεβειας, ηρνημενοι δε την δυναμιν αυτης. Και τουτους φευγε.
6 Of the same kind, too, are those men who insinuate themselves into families in order to get influenceover sil y women who are obsessed with their sins and follow one craze after another,	6 Διοτι εκ τουτων ειναι εκεινοι, οιτινες εισχωρουσιν εις τας οικιας και αιχμαλωτιζουσι τα γυναικαρια τα πεφορτισμενα αμαρτιας, συρομενα υπο διαφορων επιθυμιων,
7 always seeking learning, but unable ever to come to knowledge of the truth.	7 τα οποια παντοτε μανθανουσι και ποτε δεν δυνανται να ελθωσιν εις την γνωσιν της αληθειας.
8 Just as Jannes and Jambres defied Moses, so these men defy the truth, their minds corrupt and theirfaith spurious.	8 Και καθ' ον τροπον ο Ιαννης και Ιαμβρης αντεστησαν εις τον Μωυσην, ουτω και αυτοι ανθιστανται εις την αληθειαν, ανθρωποι διεφθαρμενοι τον νουν, αδοκιμοι εις την πιστιν.
9 But they will not be able to go on much longer: their fol y, like that of the other two, must become obviousto everybody.	9 Αλλα δεν θελουσι προκοψει πλειοτερον? διοτι η ανοησια αυτων θελει γεινει καταδηλος εις παντας, καθως και η εκεινων εγεινε.
10 You, though, have followed my teaching, my way of life, my aims, my faith, my patience and my love,my perseverance	10 Συ ομως παρηκολουθησας την διδασκαλιαν μου, την διαγωγην, την προθεσιν, την πιστιν, την μακροθυμιαν, την αγαπην, την υπομονην,
11 and the persecutions and sufferings that came to me in places like Antioch, Iconium and Lystra -- althe persecutions I have endured; and the Lord has rescued me from every one of them.	11 τους διωγμους, τα παθηματα, οποια μοι συνεβησαν εν Αντιοχεια, εν Ικονιω, εν Λυστροις? οποιους διωγμους υπεφερα, και εκ παντων με ηλευθερωσεν ο Κυριος.
12 But anybody who tries to live in devotion to Christ is certain to be persecuted;	12 Και παντες δε οι θελοντες να ζωσιν ευσεβως εν Χριστω Ιησου θελουσι διωχθη.
13 while these wicked impostors wil go from bad to worse, deceiving others, and themselves deceived.	13 Πονηροι δε ανθρωποι και γοητες θελουσι προκοψει εις το χειρον, πλανωντες και πλανωμενοι.
14 You must keep to what you have been taught and know to be true; remember who your teachers were,	14 Αλλα συ μενε εις εκεινα, τα οποια εμαθες και επιστωθης, εξευρων παρα τινος εμαθες,
15 and how, ever since you were a child, you have known the holy scriptures -from these you can learnthe wisdom that leads to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.	15 και οτι απο βρεφους γνωριζεις τα ιερα γραμματα, τα δυναμενα να σε σοφισωσιν εις σωτηριαν δια της πιστεως της εν Χριστω Ιησου.
16 Al scripture is inspired by God and useful for refuting error, for guiding people's lives and teachingthem to be upright.	16 Ολη η γραφη ειναι θεοπνευστος και ωφελιμος προς διδασκαλιαν, προς ελεγχον, προς επανορθωσιν, προς εκπαιδευσιν την μετα της δικαιοσυνης,
17 This is how someone who is dedicated to God becomes ful y equipped and ready for any good work.	17 δια να ηναι τελειος ο ανθρωπος του Θεου, ητοιμασμενος εις παν εργον αγαθον.
