“Difficult Times Will Come”
1But realizeG1097 thisG3778, that 1in the lastG2078 daysG2250 difficultG5467 timesG2540 will comeG1764. 2For menG444 will be 2loversG5367 of selfG5367, 3loversG5366 of moneyG5366, 4boastfulG213, 5arrogantG5244, 6revilersG989, 7disobedientG545 to parentsG1118, 8ungratefulG884, 9unholyG462, 310unlovingG794, irreconcilableG786, 11maliciousG1228 gossipsG1228, withoutG193 self-controlG193, brutalG434, 1213hatersG865 of goodG865, 414treacherousG4273, 15recklessG4312, 16conceitedG5187, 17loversG5369 of pleasureG5369 ratherG3123 thanG2228 loversG5377 of GodG5377, 5holdingG2192 to a formG3446 of 1819godlinessG2150, although they have 20deniedG720 its powerG1411; 21AvoidG665 such men as theseG3778. 6For amongG1537 them are thoseG3588 who 2223enterG1746 into householdsG3614 and captivateG163 2425weakG1133 womenG1133 weighedG4987 downG4987 with sinsG266, ledG71 on by 26variousG4164 impulsesG1939, 7alwaysG3842 learningG3129 and neverG3368 ableG1410 to 27comeG2064 to the 28knowledgeG1922 of the truthG225. 8JustG3739 as 29JannesG2389 and JambresG2387 30opposedG436 MosesG3475, soG3779 theseG3778 men alsoG2532 opposeG436 the truthG225, 31menG444 of depravedG2704 mindG3563, rejectedG96 in regardG4012 to the faithG4102. 9But they will not makeG4298 furtherG1909G4183 progressG4298; for their 32follyG454 will be obviousG1552 to allG3956, justG2532 33as 34Jannes’s and Jambres’s follyG454 was alsoG2532.
10Now you 35followedG3877 my teachingG1319, conductG72, purposeG4286, faithG4102, patienceG3115, 36loveG26, 37perseveranceG5281, 1138persecutionsG1375, and 39sufferingsG3804, suchG3634 as happenedG1096 to me at 40AntiochG490, at 41IconiumG2430 and at 42LystraG3082; whatG3634 43persecutionsG1375 I enduredG5297, and out of them allG3956 44the LordG2962 rescuedG4506 me! 12IndeedG2532, allG3956 who desireG2309 to liveG2198 godlyG2153 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 45will be persecutedG1377. 13But evilG4190 menG444 and impostorsG1114 46will proceedG4298 from bad to worseG5501, 47deceivingG4105 and being deceivedG4105. 14You, howeverG1161, 48continueG3306 in the thingsG3739 you have learnedG3129 and become convincedG4104 of, knowingG3609 from whomG5101 you have learnedG3129 them, 15and that 49from childhoodG1025 you have knownG3609 50the sacredG2413 writingsG1121 which are ableG1410 to 51giveG4679 you the wisdomG4679 that leadsG1519 to 52salvationG4991 throughG1223 faithG4102 which is in 53ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 1654AllG3956 ScriptureG1124 is 55inspiredG2315 by GodG2315 and profitableG5624 for teachingG1319, for reproofG1649, for correctionG1882, for 56trainingG3809 in righteousnessG1343; 17soG2443 that 57the manG444 of GodG2316 may be adequateG739, 58equippedG1822 for everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041.
