2 Timothy 3:8-15

8As Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men oppose the truth. Their minds are corrupt, and the faith they teach is counterfeit.

9Certainly, they won’t get very far. Like the stupidity of Jannes and Jambres, their stupidity will be plain to everyone.

10But you know all about my teachings, my way of life, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, and my endurance.

11You also know about the kind of persecutions and sufferings which happened to me in the cities of Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I endured those persecutions, and the Lord rescued me from all of them.

12Those who try to live a godly life because they believe in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

13But evil people and phony preachers will go from bad to worse as they mislead people and are themselves misled.

14However, continue in what you have learned and found to be true. You know who your teachers were.

15From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures. They have the power to give you wisdom so that you can be saved through faith in Christ Jesus.
