2 Timothy 3:1
But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
The last days began when Jesus began his earthly ministry (see indgang for Heb. 1:2). Peter believed he was living in the last days (Acts 2:17) and so did Paul. We can be sure that Paul was referring to his era because of the warning he gives to Timothy. After listing nineteen bad sorts of people that are associated with the last days he warn Timothy to “avoid such as these” (1 Tim. 3:5).

2 Timotheus 3:8
Ligesom Jannes og Jambres modarbejdede Moses, således er disse mænd også imod sandheden, mænd med fordærvet sind, afvist med hensyn til troen.
(en) Jannes og Jambres are believed to be the Egyptian magicians who opposed Moses and Aaron in the court of Pharaoh (Ex. 7:11-12). These sorcerers challenged the power of God but were ultimately forced to concede that God was with Moses (Ex. 8:19).
(b) Afvist med hensyn til troen. Those who oppose the truth disqualify themselves from entering the kingdom. Although God stands ever ready to stamp the lost with his seal of acceptance, those who oppose him and reject his word judge themselves unworthy of eternal life (Acts 13:46).
2 Timotheus 3:15
og at du fra barndommen har kendt de hellige skrifter, som kan give dig den visdom, som fører til frelse ved troen på Kristus Jesus.
Frelse gennem tro. Alle Guds velsignelser, inklusive tilgivelse, frelse, retfærdighed og helliggørelse, kommer til os frit af nåde og modtages ved tro. Troen tvinger ikke Gud til at tilgive os eller hellige os. Men troen er den kanal, som nåden strømmer igennem. Se indgang for Troen.
2 Timotheus 3:16
Hele Skriften er inspireret af Gud og nyttig til undervisning, til irettesættelse, til irettesættelse, til oplæring i retfærdighed;
(en) Hele Skriften. Paul was no doubt thinking of those books of the Hebrew Bible that we know as the Old Testament. Today “all Scripture” would include the New Testament as well. Yet even in the New Testament church, some were beginning to recognize Paul’s letters as having the authority of the scriptures (see indgang for 2 Pet. 3:16).
(b) Teaching is the ability to reveal Jesus the Righteous One, and the Living Word of God (Acts 4:2, 13:12, 15:35, 18:11, 28:31, Col. 3:16). Teaching also includes the ability to unpack the scriptures (Acts 2:42).
(c) Til træning i retfærdighed. The Bible distinguishes two kinds of righteousness; the kind that is based on our works (self-righteousness) and the kind that comes from God (Christ’s righteousness). The former falls short of the perfect standard that God requires (Is. 64:6). But the good news is that God’s righteousness is given freely and is received by faith (Rom. 1:17, 3:22).
