2 Timothy 3

1 But know this: that in the last days, grievous times will come.

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, not lovers of good,

Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4 traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 holding a form of godliness but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also.

Having a form of godliness, but denying its power: from such turn away.

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 this sort are they who creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with various lusts,

7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

8 Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind, who concerning the faith are rejected.

Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, rejected as concerning 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 proceed no further: for their folly shall be evident to all men, as theirs also was.

10 But you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness,

But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, 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.

Persecutions, afflictions, which came to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

And, all indeed that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

But evil men and seducers shall become worse and worse, 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 continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing from whom thou hast learned them;

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 a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16 Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction 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, thoroughly furnished to all good works.
