2 Timothy 3

“Difficult Times Will Come”

1But realize this, that 1in the last days difficult times will come. 2For men will be 2lovers of self, 3lovers of money, 4boastful, 5arrogant, 6revilers, 7disobedient to parents, 8ungrateful, 9unholy, 310unloving, irreconcilable, 11malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, 1213haters of good, 414treacherous, 15reckless, 16conceited, 17lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5holding to a form of 1819godliness, although they have 20denied its power; 21Avoid such men as these. 6For among them are those who 2223enter into households and captivate 2425weak women weighed down with sins, led on by 26various impulses, 7always learning and never able to 27come to the 28knowledge of the truth. 8Just as 29Jannes and Jambres 30opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, 31men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith. 9But they will not make further progress; for their 32folly will be obvious to all, just 33as 34Jannes’s and Jambres’s folly was also.

10Now you 35followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, 36love, 37perseverance, 1138persecutions, and 39sufferings, such as happened to me at 40Antioch, at 41Iconium and at 42Lystra; what 43persecutions I endured, and out of them all 44the Lord rescued me! 12Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus 45will be persecuted. 13But evil men and impostors 46will proceed from bad to worse, 47deceiving and being deceived. 14You, however, 48continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15and that 49from childhood you have known 50the sacred writings which are able to 51give you the wisdom that leads to 52salvation through faith which is in 53Christ Jesus. 1654All Scripture is 55inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for 56training in righteousness; 17so that 57the man of God may be adequate, 58equipped for every good work.
