2 Timothy.
|
||
|
|
Chapter 3.
|
||
|
|
But know this: that in the last days, grievous times will come.
|
||
|
|
For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
|
||
|
|
without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, not lovers of good,
|
||
|
|
traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
|
||
|
|
holding a form of godliness but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also.
|
||
|
|
For some of these are people who creep into houses and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,
|
||
|
|
always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
|
||
|
|
Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind, who concerning the faith are rejected.
|
||
|
|
But they will proceed no further. For their folly will be evident to all men, as theirs also came to be.
|
||
|
|
But you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness,
|
||
|
|
persecutions, and sufferings—those things that happened to me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I endured those persecutions. The Lord delivered me out of them all.
|
||
|
|
Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
|
||
|
|
But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
|
||
|
|
But you remain in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them.
|
||
|
|
From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
|
||
|
|
Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,
|
||
|
|
that each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
