2Ti3:1 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2Ti3:2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
2Ti3:3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
2Ti3:4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;
2Ti3:5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; and avoid such men as these.
2Ti3:6 For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses,
2Ti3:7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
2Ti3:8 And just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these [men] also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected as regards the faith.
2Ti3:9 But they will not make further progress; for their folly will be obvious to all, as also that of those [two] came to be.
2Ti3:10 But you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, perseverance,
2Ti3:11 persecutions, [and] sufferings, such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium [and] at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord delivered me!
2Ti3:12 And indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
2Ti3:13 But evil men and impostors will proceed [from bad] to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
2Ti3:14 You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned [them];
2Ti3:15 and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
2Ti3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;
2Ti3:17 that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.
