II Timothy Chapter 3

3 : 1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come.

3 : 2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boasters, arrogant, blasphemous, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, impious,

3 : 3 devoid of natural affection, irreconcilable, slanderous, without self-control, savage, no lovers of good,

3 : 4 traitors, reckless, beclouded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God,

3 : 5 having a form of piety, but repudiating the power of it. Now turn away from these men,

3 : 6 for from these are those who creep into houses, and take captive petty women laden with sins, being led away by various impulses,

3 : 7 ever learning and never able to come to knowledge of truth.

3 : 8 And by which way Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also do these oppose the truth. Men corrupted in mind, worthless about the faith.

3 : 9 But they will not advance in much more, for their folly will be evident to all men, as also that of those men came to be.

3 : 10 But thou have closely followed my doctrine, conduct, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance,

3 : 11 persecutions, sufferings, such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra. I endured such persecutions, and the Lord rescued me out of them all.

3 : 12 And also all those who want to live devoutly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

3 : 13 But evil men and impostors will go forward to worse, leading astray and being led astray.

3 : 14 But continue thou in what thou learned and were convinced of, knowing from whom thou learned them.

3 : 15 And that from a babe thou have known the sacred writings, which are able to make thee wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

3 : 16 Every scripture is inspired by God and useful for instruction, for reproof, for correction, for discipline in righteousness,

3 : 17 so that the man of God may be qualified, having been completed for every good work.
