2 Timothy 3

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

traitors, heady, 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, and its power having denied; and from these be turning away,

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 silly women, laden with sins, led away with desires manifold,

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

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

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 also these do 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 shall not advance any further, for their folly shall be manifest to all, as theirs also did become.

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

And thou — thou hast 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 out of all the Lord did deliver me,

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

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

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

and evil men and impostors shall 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 thou — be remaining in the things which thou didst learn and wast entrusted with, having known from whom thou didst learn,

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 from a babe the Holy Writings thou hast known, which are able to make thee 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 setting aright, 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 — for every good work having been completed.
