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