< 2 Timothy 3 >

1 But know this: that in the last days, grievous times will come.
But know this, that in the last days hard times will come;
2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
and men will be lovers of themselves, and lovers of money, boastful, lofty, blasphemous, to their men not obedient, deniers of grace, impious, calumniators,
3 without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, not lovers of good,
subjected to lust, brutal, haters of the good,
4 traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
traitors, impetuous, puffed up, lovers of lusts rather than the love of Aloha;
5 holding a form of godliness but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also.
having a form of the worship of Aloha, but from the power of Aloha afar off: (them) who are such put from thee.
6 For some of these are people who creep into houses and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,
For of them are they who creep into houses, and captivate women who are overladen with sins, and led away by divers lusts;
7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
who, in all time learning, never to the knowledge of the truth are able to come.
8 Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind, who concerning the faith are rejected.
But as Yonis and Yanbris stood against Musha, so also these stand against the truth: men whose understanding is corrupted, and reprobate from the faith.
9 But they will proceed no further. For their folly will be evident to all men, as theirs also came to be.
But they shall not come further, for their folly is known to all men, as also of them it is known.
10 But you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness,
BUT thou hast followed my doctrine and my manners, and my purpose, and my faith, and my prolongedness of mind, and my charity, and my patience,
11 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.
and my persecution, and my sufferings. And thou knowest what things I endured in Antioch, and in Ikonion, and in Lystra, what persecution I endured; and out of all these my Lord delivered me.
12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
But all they who will in the fear of Aloha to live in Jeshu Meshiha, are persecuted.
13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
But wicked men and seducers add to their wickedness, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But you remain in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them.
But abide thou in those things that thou hast learned, and in which thou art confirmed; for thou knowest from whom thou hast learned:
15 From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
and that from thy childhood thou hast learned the holy writings, which are able to make thee wise to salvation, through faith which is in Jeshu Meshiha.
16 Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,
FOR all scripture which from the Spirit is written, is profitable for doctrine, and for rebuke, and for correction, and for instruction which is in righteousness:
17 that each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
that the man of God may be perfect unto every good work, and completed.
