2 Timothy 3

1 But know this: that in the last days, grievous 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 self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, 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, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, not lovers of good,

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

4 traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

traitors, reckless, beclouded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God,

5 holding a form of godliness but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also.

having a form of godliness, but, the power thereof, denying! and, from these, turn away;

6 For some of these are people who creep into houses and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various 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 always 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 Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind, who concerning the faith are rejected.

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 will proceed no further. For their folly will be evident to all men, as theirs also came to be.

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 you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness,

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

11 persecutions, and sufferings—those things that happened to me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I endured those persecutions. The Lord delivered me out of them all.

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 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Messiah Yeshua 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 impostors will grow 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 you remain in the things which you have learnt and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learnt them.

But, thou, —abide in the things which thou hast learned, and been entrusted with, knowing, from whom, thou hast learned [them], —

15 From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Messiah Yeshua.

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 Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and 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 each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

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