2 Timothy 3

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

But, of this, be taking note—that, in last days, there will set in perilous seasons;

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

For men will be—fond of themselves, fond of money, ostentatious, arrogant, defamers, to parents, unyielding, unthankful, unkind,

3 Without natural affection, truce-breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

without natural affection, accepting no truce, given to intrigue, without self-control, uncivilized, unfriendly to good men,

4 Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

traitors, reckless, beclouded, 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, the power thereof, denying! and, from these, turn away;

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

For, of these, are they who enter into the houses, and captivate silly women, [women] laden with sins, led on by manifold covetings,

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

Ever learning and never, unto a personal knowledge of truth, able to come;

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

Moreover, like as, Jannes and Jambres, withstood Moses, so, these men also, withstand the truth, —men utterly corrupted in their mind, disapproved concerning their faith;

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

But they shall not force their way further, for, their folly, shall be, fully evident, unto all, —as also, that of those men, became.

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

But, thou, hast closely studied—my teaching, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, love, endurance,

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.

persecutions, sufferings, what manner of things, befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra, what manner of persecutions, I endured, —and, out of all, the Lord, rescued me; —

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

Yea and, all who are determined to live in a godly manner in Christ Jesus, will be persecuted;

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

Whereas, wicked men and howling impostors, will force their way to the 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, thou, —abide in the things which thou hast learned, and been entrusted with, knowing, from whom, thou hast learned [them], —

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

And that, from a babe, those sacred letters, thou hast known which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through the faith which is in Christ Jesus:

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

Every scripture, [is] God-breathed, and profitable—unto teaching, unto conviction, unto correction, unto the discipline that is in righteousness, —

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

In order that, ready, may be the man, of God, unto every good work, being well-prepared.
