2Timothy:3
Seeker Overlay ON
*
But understand this ,
that in the last days there will come times of stress .
*
For men will be lovers of self ,
lovers of money ,
proud ,
arrogant ,
abusive ,
disobedient to their parents ,
ungrateful ,
unholy ,
*
inhuman ,
implacable ,
slanderers ,
profligates ,
fierce ,
haters of good ,
*
treacherous ,
reckless ,
swollen with conceit ,
lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God ,
*
holding the form of religion but denying the power of it .
Avoid such people .
*
For among them are those who make their way into households and capture weak women ,
burdened with sins and swayed by various impulses ,
*
who will listen to anybody and can never arrive at a knowledge of the truth .
*
As Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses ,
so these men also oppose the truth ,
men of corrupt mind and counterfeit faith ;
*
but they will not get very far ,
for their folly will be plain to all ,
as was that of those two men .
*
Now you have observed my teaching ,
my conduct ,
my aim in life ,
my faith ,
my patience ,
my love ,
my steadfastness ,
*
my persecutions ,
my sufferings ,
what befell me at Antioch ,
at Ico '
nium ,
and at Lystra ,
what persecutions I endured ;
yet from them all the Lord rescued me .
*
Indeed all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted ,
*
while evil men and impostors will go on from bad to worse ,
deceivers and deceived .
*
But as for you ,
continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed ,
knowing from whom you learned it
*
and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings which are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus .
*
All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching ,
for reproof ,
for correction ,
and for training in righteousness ,
*
that the man of God may be complete ,
equipped for every good work .
