2 Timothy
3
1 2 3 4
1 This know also, that in the last
days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their
own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to
parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection,
trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those
that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded,
lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but
denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which
creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away
with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to
come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres
withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds,
reprobate concerning the faith.
9 But they shall proceed no further:
for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
10 But thou hast fully known my
doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity,
patience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which
came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I
endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly
in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall
wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue thou in the things
which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou
hast learned them;
15 And that from a child thou hast
known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation
through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture
is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be
perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
