Central idea : Because there will be those that oppose the truth of God, we as Christ followers should expect persecution. Summary : Paul begins with the thesis of the passage: "In the last days there will come times of difficulty", which he follows with two reasons why these times will be difficult. The first and largest reason is the immorality of the people. Paul explains who these immoral people are, and gives a charge to avoid them. He compares their opposition to the truth of the Gospel to Jannes' and Jambres', the sorcerers opposition to Moses. Paul follows his explanation of the situation of immorality with the counter-intuitive response of Timothy: "you however have followed my teaching…and my persecutions". In vv. 12-13, Paul summarizes what he has said by giving the second reason why the "last days" will be difficult, which comes as a result of the immorality of the people. "Indeed, all who desire to live a Godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil people and imposters will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived". Because people will be running from the Lord (vv. 2-5) and opposing the truth (v. 8), persecution will naturally follow for God's people, just like the Israelites at the hands of the Egyptians. Questions: What do you think are the "last days"? Is that now? Does this describe the people we interact with everyday? Does it describe us? Why does Paul specifically call out those that "creep into households and capture weak women"? What is this? Do you think Paul is saying this is worse? What implications does "disqualified regarding the faith" (v. 3:8) have? If v. 12 is true ("Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted"), are we seeing persecution? If we aren't, should be living in such a way that does result in persecution? Does this say something about our love for Christ and our boldness for preaching His name? Doesn't this relate to Paul's numerous mentions of "an unashamed worker"? If we were truly unashamed, would we see more frequent persecution?

2 Timothy

2 Timothy 3:1-13

NT

esv

But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty.

For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power.

Avoid such people .

ideaexplanation

For among them are those who creep into households

and capture weak women ,

burdened with sins

and led astray by various passions,

always learning

and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.

so these men also oppose the truth,

men corrupted in mind

and disqualified regarding the faith.

But they will not get very far,

[because] their folly will be plain to all,

as was that of those two men.

You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness,

my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra-- which persecutions I endured;

yet from them all the Lord rescued me.

situationresponse

Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,

while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse,

deceiving and being deceived.
