2 Timothy 3
1ButG1161 understandG1097 thisG3778: InG1722 the lastG2078 daysG2250 terribleG5467 timesG2540 will comeG1764. 2ForG1063 menG444 will beG1510 lovers of themselvesG5367, lovers of moneyG5366, boastfulG213, arrogantG5244, abusiveG989, disobedientG545 to their parentsG1118, ungratefulG884, unholyG462, 3unlovingG794, unforgivingG786, slanderousG1228, without self-controlG193, brutalG434, without love of goodG865, 4traitorousG4273, recklessG4312, conceitedG5187, lovers of pleasureG5369 ratherG3123 thanG2228 lovers of GodG5377, 5havingG2192 a formG3446 of godlinessG2150 butG1161 denyingG720 itsG846 powerG1411. Turn away fromG665 such as theseG3778!
They areG1510 the kind whoG1537G3778 worm their wayG1744 intoG1519 householdsG3614 andG2532 captivateG163 vulnerable womenG1133 who are weighed downG4987 with sinsG266 and led astrayG71 by variousG4164 passionsG1939, 7who are alwaysG3842 learningG3129 but neverG3368 ableG1410 to comeG2064 toG1519 a knowledgeG1922 of the truthG225.
8Just asG3739G5158G1161 JannesG2389 andG2532 JambresG2387 opposedG436 MosesG3475,1 soG3779 alsoG2532 theseG3778 menG444 opposeG436 theG3588 truthG225. They are depravedG2704 in mindG3563 and disqualifiedG96 fromG4012 theG3588 faithG4102. 9ButG235 they will not advanceG3756G4298 muchG4119 furtherG1909. ForG1063 justG2532 likeG5613 Jannes and Jambres, theirG846 follyG454 will beG1510 plainG1552 to everyoneG3956.
All Scripture Is God-Breathed
(Hebrews 4:12–16)
10YouG4771, howeverG1161, have observedG3877 myG1473 teachingG1319, my conductG72, my purposeG4286, my faithG4102, my patienceG3115, my loveG26, my perseveranceG5281, 11my persecutionsG1375, and the sufferingsG3804 thatG3634 came uponG1096 meG1473 inG1722 AntiochG490, IconiumG2430, and LystraG3082. WhatG3634 persecutionsG1375 I enduredG5297! YetG2532 theG3588 LordG2962 rescuedG4506 meG1473 fromG1537 allG3956 of them. 12IndeedG1161, allG3956 whoG3588 desireG2309 to liveG2198 godlyG2153 lives inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 will be persecutedG1377, 13whileG1161 evilG4190 menG444 andG2532 impostersG1114 goG4298 from bad toG1909 worseG5501, deceivingG4105 andG2532 being deceivedG4105.
14ButG1161 as for youG4771, continueG3306 inG1722 the thingsG3739 you have learnedG3129 andG2532 firmly believedG4104, since you knowG1492 fromG3844 whomG5101 you have learnedG3129 them. 15FromG575 infancyG1025 you have knownG1492 theG3588 HolyG2413 ScripturesG1121, whichG3588 are ableG1410 to make you wiseG4771G4679 forG1519 salvationG4991 throughG1223 faithG4102 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 16AllG3956 ScriptureG1124 is God-breathedG2315 andG2532 is usefulG5624 forG4314 instructionG1319, forG4314 convictionG1650, forG4314 correctionG1882, and forG4314 trainingG3809 inG1722 righteousnessG1343, 17so thatG2443 theG3588 manG444 of GodG2316 may beG1510 completeG739, fully equippedG1822 forG4314 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041.
