< 2 Timothy 3 >
1 This however do realize, that in [the] last days will be present times difficult.
2 Will be for men lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, to parents disobedient, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, implacable, slanderous, without self-control, savage, without love of good,
4 treacherous, reckless, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 having a form of godliness but the power of it already denying. And these do yourself turn away from.
6 Out of this sort for are those entering into households and (being captured *N(k)O*) (*k*) weak women burdened with sins, being led away by passions various,
7 always learning and never to a knowledge of [the] truth to come being able.
8 By which way now Jannes and Jambres opposed to Moses, so also these oppose to the truth, men depraved in mind, disqualified regarding the faith.
9 But not they will advance further much; for the folly of them plain will be to all, as also that of those [two] became.
10 You yourself however (closely followed *N(k)O*) after my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance,
11 persecutions, sufferings such as to me happened in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; what manner of persecutions I endured! And yet out of all me delivered the Lord.
12 Also all now those desiring piously to live in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
13 Evil however men and imposters will advance to worse deceiving and being deceived.
14 You yourself however do abide in [the] things you have learned and you were assured of knowing from (which [people] *N(k)O*) you learned [them],
15 and for from childhood the sacred writings you know, which are being able you to make wise unto salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
16 Every Scripture [is] God-breathed and profitable for instruction, for conviction, for correction, [and] for training in righteousness,
17 so that complete may be the of God man, toward every work good fully equipped.
