2 Timothy 3

1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

But this know, that in the last days there will be difficult times;

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

for men will be selfish, covetous, arrogant, proud, blasphemers, undutiful to parents, ungrateful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

without natural affection, perfidious, false accusers, intemperate, savage, enemies to the good, traitors,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God,

5 Having a form of godliness, but denying its power: from such turn away.

having a form of godliness, but strangers to the power of it: from such turn away.

6 For of this sort are they who creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with various lusts,

For of these are they who insinuate themselves into families, and captivate weak women, that are laden with sins,

7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

and led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, rejected as concerning the faith.

And as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth; being men of corrupt minds, and of no judgement in the faith.

9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be evident to all men, as theirs also was.

But they shall not proceed far: for their folly shall be evident to all, as theirs also was.

10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

But thou art well acquainted with my doctrine, conduct, purpose, faith, long-suffering, charity, patience, persecutions,

11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

sufferings, which befel me at Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and how the Lord delivered me out of them all.

12 And, all indeed that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

And indeed all, that are desirous to live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution.

13 But evil men and seducers shall become worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

But wicked men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing from whom thou hast learned them;

But continue thou in the things which thou hast learnt, and been assured of, knowing from whom thou hast learned them;

15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

and that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through faith in Christ Jesus: for all scripture is by inspiration from God,

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

and is profitable for doctrine, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness;

17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished to all good works.

that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly fitted for every good work.
