Book of 2 Timothy
3:1 But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come. 3:2For men shall
be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to
parents, unthankful, unholy, 3:3without natural affection, implacable, slanderers,
without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good, 3:4traitors, headstrong, puffed up,
lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; 3:5holding a form of godliness, but
having denied the power therefore. From these also turn away. 3:6For of these are
they that creep into houses, and take captive silly women laden with sins, led
away by divers lusts, 3:7ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of
the truth. 3:8And even as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also
withstand the truth. Men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith. 3:9But
they shall proceed no further. For their folly shall be evident unto all men, as
theirs also came to be. 3:10But thou didst follow my teaching, conduct, purpose,
faith, longsuffering, love, patience, 3:11persecutions, sufferings. What things befell
me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured. And out of
them all the Lord delivered me. 3:12Yea, and all that would live godly in Christ
Jesus shall suffer persecution. 3:13But evil men and impostors shall wax worse and
worse, deceiving and being deceived. 3:14But abide thou in the things which thou
hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them.
3:15And that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to
make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 3:16Every
scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction which is in righteousness. 3:17That the man of God may
be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.
