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.

II Timothy 3

¹But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come.

²For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

³without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good,

⁴traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

⁵holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof: from these also turn away.

⁶For of these are they that creep into houses, and take captive silly women laden with sins, led away by divers lusts,

⁷ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

⁸And even as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth; men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.

⁹But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be evident unto all men, as theirs also came to be.

¹⁰But thou didst follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,

¹¹persecutions, sufferings; what things befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: and out of them all the Lord delivered me.

¹²Yea, and all that would live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

¹³But evil men and impostors shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

¹⁴But abide thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

¹⁵and that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁶Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness:

¹⁷that the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.
