2 Timothy 3

ABU(i) 1 BUT know this, that in the last days perilous times will come. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 without natural affection, implacable, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, without love to the good, 4 betrayers, headlong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; 5 having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof; and from these turn away. 6 For of these are they who creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 ever learning, and never able to come to the full knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so also do these withstand the truth; men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further; for their folly shall be fully manifest to all, as was also theirs. 10 But thou didst strictly follow my teaching, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, love, patience, 11 persecutions, afflictions; what things came upon me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yea, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers will grow worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14 But do thou continue in the things which thou learnedst and wast assured of, knowing of whom thou didst learn; 15 and that from a child thou didst know the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is inspired by God, and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; 17 that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
