2 Timothy 3

1And this know thou, that in the last days there shall come perilous times,

1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2for men shall be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, evil-speakers, to parents disobedient, unthankful, unkind,

2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3without natural affection, implacable, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, not lovers of those who are good,

3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4traitors, heady, lofty, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God,

4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5having a form of piety, and its power having denied; and from these be turning away,

5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

6for of these there are those coming into the houses and leading captive the silly women, laden with sins, led away with desires manifold,

6For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

7always learning, and never to a knowledge of truth able to come,

7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

8and, even as Jannes and Jambres stood against Moses, so also these do stand against the truth, men corrupted in mind, disapproved concerning the faith;

8Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

9but they shall not advance any further, for their folly shall be manifest to all, as theirs also did become.

9But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

10And thou--thou hast followed after my teaching, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, love, endurance,

10But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

11the persecutions, the afflictions, that befell me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of all the Lord did deliver me,

11Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

12and all also who will to live piously in Christ Jesus shall be persecuted,

12Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

13and evil men and impostors shall advance to the worse, leading astray and being led astray.

13But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

14And thou--be remaining in the things which thou didst learn and wast entrusted with, having known from whom thou didst learn,

14But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

15and because from a babe the Holy Writings thou hast known, which are able to make thee wise--to salvation, through faith that <FI>is<Fi> in Christ Jesus;

15And 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.

16every Writing <FI>is<Fi> God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction that <FI>is<Fi> in righteousness,

16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17that the man of God may be fitted--for every good work having been completed.

17That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
