2 Timothy 3

MSTC^{(i) 1} This understand, that in the last days shall come perilous times: ² For the men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, cursed speakers, disobedient to father and mother, unthankful, unholy, ³ unkind, trucebreakers, stubborn, false accusers, rioters, fierce, despisers of them which are good, ⁴ traitors, heady, high minded, greedy upon voluptuousness more than the lovers of God, ⁵ having a similitude of godly living, but have denied the power thereof. Such abhor. ⁶ For of this sort are they which enter into houses, and bring into bondage women laden with sin, which women are led of divers lusts, ⁷ ever learning, and never able to come unto the knowledge of the truth. ⁸ As Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, even so do these resist the truth, men they are of corrupt minds, and lewd as concerning the faith: ⁹ but they shall prevail no longer. For their madness shall be uttered unto all men as theirs was. ¹⁰ But thou hast seen the experience of my doctrine, fashion of living, purpose, faith, long suffering, love, patience, ¹¹ persecutions, and afflictions which happened unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra: which persecutions I suffered patiently; And from them all the Lord delivered me. ¹² Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus, must suffer persecutions. ¹³ But the evil men and deceivers, shall wax worse and worse, while they deceive, and are deceived themselves. ¹⁴ But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned, which also were committed unto thee, seeing thou knowest of whom thou hast learned them. ¹⁵ And forasmuch also as thou hast known holy scripture of a child, which is able to make thee wise unto salvation through the faith, which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁶ For all scripture given by inspiration of God, is profitable to teach, to improve, to amend, and to instruct in righteousness, ¹⁷ that the man of God may be perfect, and prepared unto all good works.
