2 Timothy 3

1
But, of this, be taking note--that, in last days, there will set in perilous seasons;

2
For men will be--fond of themselves, fond of money, ostentatious, arrogant, defamers, to parents, unyielding, unthankful, unkind,

3
without natural affection, accepting no truce, given to intrigue, without self-control, uncivilized, unfriendly to good men,

4
traitors, reckless, beclouded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God,

5
having a form of godliness, but, the power thereof, denying! and, from these, turn away;

6
For, of these, are they who enter into the houses, and captivate silly women, women laden with sins, led on by manifold covetings,

7
Ever learning and never, unto a personal knowledge of truth, able to come;

8
Moreover, like as, Jannes and Jambres, withstood Moses, so, these men also, withstand the truth,--men utterly corrupted in their mind, disapproved concerning
their faith;

9
But they shall not force their way further, for, their folly, shall be, fully evident, unto all,--as also, that of those men, became.

10
But, thou, hast closely studied--my teaching, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, love, endurance,

11
persecutions, sufferings, what manner of things, befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra, what manner of persecutions, I endured,--and, out of all,
the Lord, rescued me;--

12
Yea and, all who are determined to live in a godly manner in Christ Jesus, will be persecuted;

13
Whereas, wicked men and howling impostors, will force their way to the worse, deceiving and being deceived.

14
But, thou,--abide in the things which thou hast learned, and been entrusted with, knowing, from whom, thou hast learned them ,--

15
And that, from a babe, those sacred letters, thou hast known which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through the faith which is in Christ Jesus:

16
Every scripture, is God-breathed, and profitable--unto teaching, unto conviction, unto correction, unto the discipline that is in righteousness,--

17
In order that, ready, may be the man, of God, unto every good work, being well-prepared.
