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