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