2 Timothy Chapter 3 (ESV)
undefined
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty.
undefined
For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
undefined
heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good,
undefined
treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
undefined
having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
undefined
For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions,
undefined
always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.
undefined
Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith.
undefined
But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.
undefined
You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness,
undefined
my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra — which persecutions I endured; yet from them all the Lord rescued me.
undefined
Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
undefined
while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
undefined
But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it
undefined
and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
undefined
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
undefined
that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
