2 Timothy 3

Difficult Times Will Come

1But realize this, that 1in the last days difficult times will come. 2For people will be 2lovers of self, 3lovers of money, 4boastful, 5arrogant, 6slanderers, 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 people as these. 6For among them are those who 2223slip 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, 32worthless in regard to the faith. 9But they will not make further progress; for their 33foolishness will be obvious to all, just 34as was that also of 35Jannes and Jambres.

10Now you 36followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, 37love, 38perseverance, 1139persecutions, and 40sufferings, such as happened to me at 41Antioch, at 42Iconium, and at 43Lystra; what 44persecutions I endured, and out of them all 45the Lord rescued me! 12Indeed, all who want to live in a godly way in Christ Jesus 46will be persecuted. 13But evil people and impostors 47will proceed from bad to worse, 48deceiving and being deceived. 14You, however, 49continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15and that 50from childhood you have known 51the sacred writings which are able to 52give you the wisdom that leads to 53salvation through faith which is in 54Christ Jesus. 1655All Scripture is 56inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for 57rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17so that 58the man or woman of God may be 59fully capable, 60equipped for every good work.
