II Timothy 3 Comparison: Geneva Bible 1599 vs King James Version
II Timothy 3
1This knowe also, that in the last dayes shall come perilous times.
2For men shalbe louers of their owne selues, couetous, boasters, proud, cursed speakers, disobedient to parents, vnthankefull, vnholy,
3Without naturall affection, truce breakers, false accusers, intemperate, fierce, no louers at all of them which are good,
4Traitours, headie, high minded, louers of pleasures more then louers of God,
5Hauing a shewe of godlinesse, but haue denied the power thereof: turne away therefore from such.
6For of this sort are they which creepe into houses, and leade captiue simple women laden with sinnes, and led with diuers lustes,
7Which women are euer learning, and are neuer able to come to the acknowledging of the trueth.
8And as Iannes and Iambres withstoode Moses, so doe these also resist the trueth, men of corrupt mindes, reprobate concerning the faith.
9But they shall preuaile no longer: for their madnesse shalbe euident vnto all men, as theirs also was.
10But thou hast fully knowen my doctrine, maner of liuing, purpose, faith, long suffering, loue, patience,
11Persecutions, and afflictions which came vnto me at Antiochia, at Iconium, and at Lystri, which persecutions I suffered: but from them all the Lord deliuered me.
12Yea, and all that will liue godly in Christ Iesus, shall suffer persecution.
13But the euill men and deceiuers, shall waxe worse and worse, deceiuing, and being deceiued.
14But continue thou in the thinges which thou hast learned, and which are committed vnto thee, knowing of who thou hast learned them:
15And that thou hast knowen the holy Scriptures of a childe, which are able to make thee wise vnto saluation, through the faith which is in Christ Iesus.
16For the whole Scripture is giuen by inspiration of God, and is profitable to teache, to conuince, to correct, and to instruct in righteousnesse,
17That the man of God may be absolute, being made perfect vnto all good workes.
II Timothy 3
1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
10But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15And 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.
16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
