2 Timothy 3

1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

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

2 For men will be lovers of themselves, moneylovers, arrogant, proud, blasphemous, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,

for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, slanderous, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unkind,

3 without natural affections, covenant breakers, devilish, intemperate, furious, opposed to good,

without natural affection, implacable, false accusers, without control, barbaric, not lovers of those who are good,

4 traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

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

5 having a form of godliness, but denying the power of the same: and from these turn away.

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

6 For of these are those creeping into houses, and leading captive little, silly women laden with sins, being led by divers lusts,

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

7 always learning, and never able to come into the perfect knowledge of the truth.

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

8 In the manner in which Jannes and Jambres also resisted Moses, so these indeed resist the truth; men who are corrupt as to their mind, reprobate concerning the faith.

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

9 But they shall proceed no further: for their insanity will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.

but they will not advance any further, for their folly will be evident to all, as theirs also became.

10 Burt you have followed my teaching, leadership, purpose, faith, long suffering, divine love, patience,

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

11 persecutions, sufferings; such as came to me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; such persecutions as I endured: and the Lord delivered me out of them all.

the persecutions, the afflictions, that befell me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; what persecutions I endured! And the LORD delivered me out of all.

12 But truly all wishing to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

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

13 But wicked men and seducers will wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

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

14 But abide thou in those things which thou hast learned and in which thou hast been instructed, knowing from whom thou hast learned;

And you—remain in the things which you learned and were entrusted with, having known from whom you learned,

15 and that from an infant thou hast known the holy scriptures which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

and because you have known the Holy Writings from infancy, which are able to make you wise—to salvation, through faith that [is] in Christ Jesus.

16 All scripture is God-breathed and profitable unto teaching, unto conviction, unto correction, unto instruction which is in righteousness:

Every Writing [is] God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for correction, for instruction that [is] in righteousness,

17 in order that the man of God may be perfect, having been thoroughly perfected unto every good work.

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