2Timothy:3

Seeker Overlay ON

* Know this also that in the last days perilous times will come . * For men will be lovers of their own selves , covetous , arrogant , proud , blasphemers , disobedient to parents , unthankful , unholy , * unloving , unforgiving , slanderers , without self-control , fierce , despisers of those who are good , * traitors , headstrong , haughty , lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God ; * having a form of godliness , but denying its power . Stay away from people like this ! * Among them are those who creep into houses and lead captive gullible women loaded down with sins , led away with various lusts . * They are constantly learning , and never able to grasp the knowledge of the truth . * And even as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses , so do these also withstand the truth . Men corrupted in mind , rejected concerning the faith , * they will make no progress ; for their foolishness will be evident to all men , as theirs also came to be . * You carefully follow my teaching in conduct , purpose , faith , longsuffering , love , and patience , * and also persecutions and sufferings . The things that happened to me at Antioch , at Iconium , at Lystra ; what persecutions I endured . Out of them the Lord delivered me . * Yes , and all who would live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution . * But evil men and impostors will become worse and worse , deceiving and being deceived . * Continue in the things you have learned and have been assured of , knowing from whom you have learned them . * From childhood you have known the sacred writings that are able to make you wise to salvation through faith that is in Christ Jesus . * God inspired all Scripture ! It is profitable for teaching , for reproof , for correction , and for instruction in righteousness . * Thus the man of God may be completely equipped for every good work .
