2 Timothy 3

And this know thou, that in the last days there shall come perilous times,

for men shall be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, evil-speakers, to parents disobedient, unthankful, unkind,

without natural affection, implacable, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, not lovers of those who are good,

traitors, heady, lofty, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God,

having a form of piety, and its power having denied; and from these be turning away,

for of these there are those coming into the houses and leading captive the silly women, laden with sins, led away with desires manifold,

always learning, and never to a knowledge of truth able to come,

and, even as Jannes and Jambres stood against Moses, so also these do stand against the truth, men corrupted in mind, disapproved concerning the faith;

but they shall not advance any further, for their folly shall be manifest to all, as theirs also did become.

And thou -- thou hast followed after my teaching, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, love, endurance,

the persecutions, the afflictions, that befel me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of all the Lord did deliver me,

and all also who will to live piously in Christ Jesus shall be persecuted,

and evil men and impostors shall advance to the worse, leading astray and being led astray.

And thou -- be remaining in the things which thou didst learn and wast entrusted with, having known from whom thou didst learn,

and because from a babe the Holy Writings thou hast known, which are able to make thee wise -- to salvation, through faith that [is] in Christ Jesus;

every Writing [is] God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction that [is] in righteousness,

that the man of God may be fitted -- for every good work having been completed.
