2Timothy:3
Seeker Overlay ON
*
But know this ,
that in the last days grievous times will be upon us .
*
For men will be lovers of themselves ,
lovers of money ,
braggarts ,
arrogant ,
blasphemers ,
disobedient to parents ,
unthankful ,
unholy ,
*
without natural feeling ,
unyielding ,
slanderers ,
without self-control ,
savage ,
haters of good ,
*
betrayers ,
reckless ,
puffed up ,
lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God ,
*
having a form of godliness ,
but denying the power of it ;
even turn away from these .
*
For of these are those creeping into houses and leading silly women captive ,
the ones having been heaped with sins ,
being led away by various lusts ,
*
always learning ,
but never being able to come to a full knowledge of the truth .
*
But in the way Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses ,
so also these withstand the truth ,
men having been corrupted in mind ,
found worthless as to the faith .
*
But they will not go further ,
for their foolishness will be plain to all ,
as also that of those became .
*
But you have closely followed my doctrine ,
the conduct ,
the purpose ,
the faith ,
the long-suffering ,
the love ,
the patient endurance ,
*
the persecutions ,
the sufferings ,
such as happened to me in Antioch ,
in Iconium ,
in Lystra ,
what persecutions I bore .
And the Lord delivered me out of all .
*
And ,
indeed ,
all desiring to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted .
*
But evil men and pretenders will go forward to worse ,
leading astray and being led astray .
*
But you keep on in what you learned and were assured of ,
knowing from whom you learned ,
*
and that from a babe you know the Holy Scriptures ,
those being able to make you wise to salvation through belief in Christ Jesus .
*
Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for doctrine ,
for reproof ,
for correction ,
for instruction in righteousness ,
*
so that the man of God may be perfected ,
fully furnished for every good work .
