Paul's Second Letter to Timothy (WEB)
3:1 But know this, that in the last days, grievous times will come. 3:2For men will be lovers of self,
lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3:3without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good,
3:4traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; 3:5holding a form of
godliness, but having denied the power thereof. Turn away from these, also. 3:6For of these are
those who creep into houses, and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by
various lusts, 3:7always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 3:8Even as
Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so do these also oppose the truth; men corrupted in mind,
reprobate concerning the faith. 3:9But they will proceed no further. For their folly will be evident to
all men, as theirs also came to be. 3:10But you did follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith,
patience, love, steadfastness, 3:11persecutions, and sufferings; those things that happened to me at
Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; those persecutions that I endured. Out of them all the Lord
delivered me. 3:12Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. 3:13But
evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. 3:14But you
remain in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you
have learned them. 3:15From infancy, you have known the sacred writings which are able to make
you wise to salvation through faith, which is in Christ Jesus. 3:16Every writing inspired by God is
profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction which is in righteousness,
3:17that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
