2 Timothy 3
NASB
2 Tim 3:1
&
But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2 Tim 3:2
&
For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
2 Tim 3:3
&
unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
2 Tim 3:4
&
treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
2 Tim 3:5
&
holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.
2 Tim 3:6
&
For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses,
2 Tim 3:7
&
always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
2 Tim 3:8
&
Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these {men} also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith.
2 Tim 3:9
&
But they will not make further progress; for their folly will be obvious to all, just as Jannes's and Jambres's folly was also.
2 Tim 3:10
&
Now you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, perseverance,
2 Tim 3:11
2 Tim 3:12
&
Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
2 Tim 3:13
&
But evil men and impostors will proceed {from bad} to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
2 Tim 3:14
&
You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned {them,}
2 Tim 3:15
&
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.
2 Tim 3:16
&
All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;
2 Tim 3:17
&
so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.
