2 Timothy 3
1 But of this be sure. In the last days grievous times will come.
But know this, that in the last days terrible times will come.
2 For men will be selfish, mercenary, boastful, haughty, blasphemous, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, irreligious,
For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 without natural affection, merciless, slanderous, dissolute, and brutal.
unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, hateful of good,
4 They will hate goodness, they will be treacherous, reckless, blinded with pride, lovers of pleasure, rather than lovers of God.
treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;
5 For although they keep up the outward form of religion, they deny its power.
holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof. Turn away from these, also.
6 Turn away from all such. Some of them creep into private houses and lead captive silly women who, laden with sins,
For among them are those who crawl into households and take captive weak-willed women weighed down with sins, led away by various passions and pleasures,
7 and led captive by ever-changing impulses, are always learning but never able to arrive at knowledge of truth.
always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 As Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so also do these men withstand the truth; being corrupt in mind and worthless in all that concerns the faith.
Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Mushe, so do these also oppose the truth; people corrupted in mind, disapproved concerning the faith.
9 But they will not get on; for their folly will be made as openly manifest to all as was that of Jannes and Jambres.
But they will proceed no further. For their folly will be evident to all, as theirs also was.
10 But you, Timothy, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aims, my faith, patience, love, endurance,
But you did follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness,
11 as well as the persecutions and sufferings which befell me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. You know all the persecutions I endured, and how the Lord delivered me out of them all!
persecutions, and sufferings: those things that happened to me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I endured those persecutions. Out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12 Yes, and all who purpose to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Meshikha Yeshua will suffer persecution.
13 But wicked men and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving others, and being themselves deceived.
But evil people and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14 But do you hold fast what you have learned and have held to be true. You know those from whom you have learned it,
But you remain in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them.
15 and how from a child you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith, which is in Meshikha Yeshua.
16 Every Scripture, seeing that it is God-breathed, is also profitable for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
17 so that the man of God may himself be complete, and completely equipped for every good work.
that the person of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
