2Timothy:3

* This , also , know , that in latter days perilous times will come . * For men will be self-lovers , money-lovers , boasters , proud , defamers , disobedient to parents , ungrateful , unholy , * without natural affection , bargain-breakers , slanderers , incontinent , fierce , haters of good men , * headstrong , puffed up , lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God ; * having a form of godliness , but denying the power of it . Now , from these , turn away . * Of these , indeed , are they who go into houses and lead captive silly women laden with sins , led away by divers lusts ; * always learning , but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth . * Now , in the manner that Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses , so do these also resist the truth : men wholly corrupted in mind , reprobate as to the faith . * However , they shall not proceed further ; for their foolishness shall be very plain to all , as theirs also was . * But you have fully known my teaching , manner of life , purpose , faith , meekness , love , patience , * persecutions , sufferings , such as befell me in Antioch , in Iconium , in Lystra : such persecutions I endured ; but out of them all the Lord delivered me . * And all , indeed , who will live godly in Christ Jesus , shall be persecuted : * but wicked men and impostors will grow worse and worse , deceiving , and being deceived . * In the meantime , do you continue in the things which you have learned , and with which you have been entrusted , knowing from whom you have learned them ; * and that , from a child , you have known the sacred scriptures , which are able to make you wise to salvation , by the faith which is in Christ Jesus . * All scripture , given by divine inspiration , is indeed profitable for doctrine , for conviction , for correction , for instruction in righteousness : * that the man of God may be perfect-completely fitted for every good work .
