2 TIM 3:3 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 3:1–9: Paul described the way people will behave in the last days

3:3a

unloving,

these people will be without any love for others,
They will not have any affection for other people.

unloving: In the last days, people will not have any love or affection even for those whom it is natural to love, such as the members of their own families. Other words for this term are “heartless,” or “unfeeling.” This Greek term also occurs in Romans 1:31.

3:3b

unforgiving,

and will not forgive others.
They will refuse to resolve problems with other people.

unforgiving: This word refers to people who refuse to resolve problems between themselves and other people. They have chosen not to forgive people who have done something wrong to them.

3:3c

slanderous,

They will tell lies about other people.

slanderous: People are slanderous when they tell lies about other people and try to ruin their reputation. Paul used this same word in 1 Timothy 3:11.

3:3d

without self-control,

will not control themselves,
They will not be able to control their desires.

without self-control: This phrase is the BSB’s translation of a single Greek word. It describes people who do not have the self-discipline to stop themselves from doing things they should not do, or to make themselves do the things they know they should do.

3:3e

brutal,

will be cruel/fierce,
They will often hurt other people.

brutal: This word can also mean “untamed,” “savage,” “cruel,” or “fierce.” Paul used this word to describe cruel people who would not hesitate to hurt other people.

3:3f

without love of good,

they will not love what is good/righteous,
They will hate what is good.

without love of good: The phrase without love of good is a literal translation of one Greek word. This word occurs only here in the New Testament, but its opposite occurs in Titus 1:8 where an overseer is to be “one who loves what is good.”

In some languages, a term like “haters” is more meaningful than a negative expression like “without love.” For example, the NCV has “They…will hate what is good.” Use the term that is more natural in your language.

good: This phrase refers to anything that is righteous, such as righteous actions.
