2Timothy:3

* But know this , that in the last days perilous times shall come . * For men will be lovers of themselves , lovers of money , boasters , proud , blasphemers , disobedient to parents , unthankful , unholy , * unloving , unforgiving , slanderers , without self-control , brutal , not loving what is good , * traitors , headstrong , having been puffed up , lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God , * having a form of godliness but denying its power . And from these people turn away ! * For of these are those [who ] creep into houses and captivate gullible women having been loaded down with sins , who are led by various lusts , * always learning and never being able to come to a full knowledge of the truth . * And in just the way Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses , thus also these resist the truth : men corrupted in mind , disapproved regarding the faith . * But they shall not advance further , for their folly shall be manifest to all , as also theirs became . * You however have carefully followed my doctrine , lifestyle , purpose , faith , patience , love , endurance , * persecutions , [and ]afflictions , which happened to me at Antioch , in Iconium , at Lystra-what persecutions I endured . And out of them all the Lord delivered me . * Yes , and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted . * But evil men and impostors shall advance worse and worse , deceiving and being deceived . * But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of , knowing from whom you learned them , * and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures , which are able to make you wise to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus . * All Scripture is given by inspiration of God , and is profitable for doctrine , for reproof , for correction , for instruction in righteousness , * that the man of God may be proficient , having been thoroughly equipped for every good work .
