2 Timothy 3

Perilous Times and Perilous Men

But know this, that ^ain the last days ¹perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, ¹unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 ^atraitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 ^ahaving a form of godliness but ^bdenying its power. And ^cfrom such people turn away! 6 For ^aof this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able ^ato come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 ^aNow as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: ^bmen of corrupt minds, ^cdisapproved concerning the faith; 9 but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, ^aas theirs also was.

The Man of God and the Word of God

10 ^aBut you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance, 11 persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me ^aat Antioch, ^bat Iconium, ^cat Lystra—what persecutions I endured. And ^dout of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yes, and ^aall who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. 13 ^aBut evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14 But you must ^acontinue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15 and that from childhood you have known ^athe Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 ^aAll Scripture is given by inspiration of God, ^band is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for ¹instruction in righteousness, 17 ^athat the man of God may be complete, ^bthoroughly equipped for every good work.
