2 Timothy 3 But know this, that in the last days grievous times will come.

Noyes⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ But know this, that in the last days grievous times will come. ² For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without ³ natural affection, implacable, slanderers, incontinent, fierce, without love for what is good, ⁴ betrayers, headstrong, 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 by 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 their minds, reprobate concerning the faith. ⁹ But they will proceed no further; for their folly will be clearly manifest to all, as that of those men was. ¹⁰ But thou art well acquainted with my teaching, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience, ¹¹ persecutions, sufferings; what things came upon me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord delivered me. ¹² Yea, and all that desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. ¹³ But evil men and impostors will wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. ¹⁴ But do thou continue in the things which thou didst learn and wast assured of, knowing from what teachers thou didst learn them, ¹⁵ and that from a child thou hast known 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 discipline in righteousness; ¹⁷ that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto every good work.
