2 Timothy 3

1 This knowe also, that in the last dayes shall come perilous times.

Know also this, that, in the last days, shall come dangerous times.

2 For men shalbe louers of their owne selues, couetous, boasters, proud, cursed speakers, disobedient to parents, vnthankefull, vnholy,

Men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, haughty, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked,

3 Without naturall affection, truce breakers, false accusers, intemperate, fierce, no louers at all of them which are good,

Without affection, without peace, slanderers, incontinent, unmerciful, without kindness,

4 Traitours, headie, high minded, louers of pleasures more then louers of God,

Traitors, stubborn, puffed up, and lovers of pleasures more than of God:

5 Hauing a shewe of godlinesse, but haue denied the power thereof: turne away therefore from such.

Having an appearance indeed of godliness, but denying the power thereof. Now these avoid.

6 For of this sort are they which creepe into houses, and leade captiue simple women laden with sinnes, and led with diuers lustes,

For of these sort are they who creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, who are led away with divers desires:

7 Which women are euer learning, and are neuer able to come to the acknowledging of the trueth.

Ever learning, and never attaining to the knowledge of the truth.

8 And as Iannes and Iambres withstoode Moses, so doe these also resist the trueth, men of corrupt mindes, reprobate concerning the faith.

Now as Jannes and Mambres resisted Moses, so these also resist the truth, men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.

9 But they shall preuaile no longer: for their madnesse shalbe euident vnto all men, as theirs also was.

But they shall proceed no farther; for their folly shall be manifest to all men, as theirs also was.

10 But thou hast fully knowen my doctrine, maner of liuing, purpose, faith, long suffering, loue, patience,

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

11 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.

Persecutions, afflictions: such as came upon me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra: what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord delivered me.

12 Yea, and all that will liue godly in Christ Iesus, shall suffer persecution.

And all that will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution.

13 But the euill men and deceiuers, shall waxe worse and worse, deceiuing, and being deceiued.

But evil men and seducers shall grow worse and worse: erring, and driving into error.

14 But continue thou in the thinges which thou hast learned, and which are committed vnto thee, knowing of who thou hast learned them:

But continue thou in those things which thou hast learned, and which have been committed to thee: knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

15 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.

And because from thy infancy thou hast known the holy scriptures, which can instruct thee to salvation, by the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16 For the whole Scripture is giuen by inspiration of God, and is profitable to teache, to conuince, to correct, and to instruct in righteousnesse,

All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice,

17 That the man of God may be absolute, being made perfect vnto all good workes.

That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work.
