| 3:1 |
But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come.
|
| 3:2 |
For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
|
| 3:3 |
without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good,
|
| 3:4 |
traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;
|
| 3:5 |
holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof: from these also turn away.
|
| 3:6 |
For of these are they that creep into houses, and take captive silly women laden with sins, led away by divers lusts,
|
| 3:7 |
ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
|
| 3:8 |
And even as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth. Men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.
|
| 3:9 |
But they shall proceed no further. For their folly shall be evident unto all men, as theirs also came to be.
|
| 3:10 |
But thou didst follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,
|
| 3:11 |
persecutions, sufferings. What things befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me.
|
| 3:12 |
Yea, and all that would live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
|
| 3:13 |
But evil men and impostors shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
|
| 3:14 |
But abide thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them.
|
| 3:15 |
And 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.
|
| 3:16 |
Every scripture inspired of God [is] also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness.
|
| 3:17 |
That the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.
