2 Timothy 3
1 This knowe also, that in the last dayes shall come perilous times.
But know this: that in the last days, grievous times will come.
2 For men shalbe louers of their owne selues, couetous, boasters, proud, cursed speakers, disobedient to parents, vnthankefull, vnholy,
For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without naturall affection, truce breakers, false accusers, intemperate, fierce, no louers at all of them which are good,
without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, not lovers of good,
4 Traitours, headie, high minded, louers of pleasures more then louers of God,
traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 Hauing a shewe of godlinesse, but haue denied the power thereof: turne away therefore from such.
holding a form of godliness but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also.
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 some of these are people who creep into houses and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,
7 Which women are euer learning, and are neuer able to come to the acknowledging of the trueth.
always learning and never able to come 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.
Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind, who concerning the faith are rejected.
9 But they shall preuaile no longer: for their madnesse shalbe euident vnto all men, as theirs also was.
But they will proceed no further. For their folly will be evident to all men, as theirs also came to be.
10 But thou hast fully knowen my doctrine, maner of liuing, purpose, faith, long suffering, loue, patience,
But you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness,
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, 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.
12 Yea, and all that will liue godly in Christ Iesus, shall suffer persecution.
Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Messiah Yeshua will suffer persecution.
13 But the euill men and deceiuers, shall waxe worse and worse, deceiuing, and being deceiued.
But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
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 you remain in the things which you have learnt and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learnt 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.
From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Messiah Yeshua.
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,
Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,
17 That the man of God may be absolute, being made perfect vnto all good workes.
that each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
