2 Timothy 3

But know this, that in the last days difficult times will be present.

For the men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, proud, blasphemous, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,

unloving, irreconcilable, slanderous, unrestrained, savage, not lovers of the good,

traitors, reckless, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, \*

having a form of godliness, but denying its power. And turn away from these.

For from these are the ones entering into households and taking captive little women having been heaped with sins, being led away by various desires,

always learning, and never being able to come to knowledge of the truth. \*

And the way Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these oppose the truth, men having been corrupted {in} the mind, unapproved concerning the faith.

But they will not advance further, for their foolishness will be obvious to all, as also that of those became. \*

But you have followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance,

persecutions, sufferings, such as happened to me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra, what kind of persecutions I endured. And the Lord rescued me from {them} all.

But also, all the ones wanting to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

But evil men and impostors will advance to the worse, leading astray and being led astray. \*

But you, remain in what you learned and were convinced of, knowing from whom you learned,

and that from infancy you have known the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith {that is} in Christ Jesus. \*

All Scripture {is} God-breathed and {is} profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness,

so that the man of God may be complete, having been equipped for every good work. \*
