< 2 Timothy 3 >
1 But know this: that in the last days, grievous times will come.
This knowe also, that in the last dayes shall come perilous times.
2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
For men shalbe louers of their owne selues, couetous, boasters, proud, cursed speakers, disobedient to parents, vnthankefull, vnholy,
3 without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, not lovers of good,
Without naturall affection, truce breakers, false accusers, intemperate, fierce, no louers at all of them which are good,
4 traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
Traitours, headie, high minded, louers of pleasures more then louers of God,
5 holding a form of godliness but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also.
Hauing a shewe of godlinesse, but haue denied the power thereof: turne away therefore from such.
6 For some of these are people who creep into houses and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,
For of this sort are they which creepe into houses, and leade captiue simple women laden with sinnes, and led with diuers lustes,
7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Which women are euer learning, and are neuer able to come to the acknowledging of the trueth.
8 Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind, who concerning the faith are rejected.
And as Iannes and Iambres withstoode Moses, so doe these also resist the trueth, men of corrupt mindes, reprobate concerning the faith.
9 But they will proceed no further. For their folly will be evident to all men, as theirs also came to be.
But they shall preuaile no longer: for their madnesse shalbe euident vnto all men, as theirs also was.
10 But you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness,
But thou hast fully knowen my doctrine, maner of liuing, purpose, faith, long suffering, loue, patience,
11 persecutions, and sufferings—those things that happened to me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I endured those persecutions. The Lord delivered me out of them all.
Persecutions, and afflictions which came vnto me at Antiochia, at Iconium, and at Lystri, which persecutions I suffered: but from them all the Lord deliuered me.
12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
Yea, and all that will liue godly in Christ Iesus, shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
But the euill men and deceiuers, shall waxe worse and worse, deceiuing, and being deceiued.
14 But you remain in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them.
But continue thou in the thinges which thou hast learned, and which are committed vnto thee, knowing of who thou hast learned them:
15 From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
And that thou hast knowen the holy Scriptures of a childe, which are able to make thee wise vnto saluation, through the faith which is in Christ Iesus.
16 Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,
For the whole Scripture is giuen by inspiration of God, and is profitable to teache, to conuince, to correct, and to instruct in righteousnesse,
17 that each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
That the man of God may be absolute, being made perfect vnto all good workes.
