2Timothy:3-4
Seeker Overlay ON
*
This know (
5720 )
also ,
that in the last days perilous times shall come (
5695 ).
*
For men shall be (
5704 )
lovers of their own selves ,
covetous ,
boasters ,
proud ,
blasphemers ,
disobedient to parents ,
unthankful ,
unholy ,
*
Without natural affection ,
trucebreakers ,
false accusers ,
incontinent ,
fierce ,
despisers of those that are good ,
*
Traitors ,
heady ,
highminded (
5772 ),
lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God ;
*
Having (
5723 )
a form of godliness ,
but denying (
5768 )
the power thereof :
from such turn away (
5732 ).
*
For of this sort are they (
5748 )
which creep (
5723 )
into houses ,
and lead captive (
5723 )
silly women laden (
5772 )
with sins ,
led away (
5746 )
with divers lusts ,
*
Ever learning (
5723 ),
and never able (
5740 )
to come (
5629 )
to the knowledge of the truth .
*
Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood (
5627 )
Moses ,
so do these also resist (
5731 )
the truth :
men of corrupt (
5772 )
minds ,
reprobate concerning the faith .
*
But they shall proceed (
5692 )
no further :
for their folly shall be (
5704 )
manifest unto all men ,
as theirs also was (
5633 ).
*
But thou hast fully known (
5758 )
my doctrine ,
manner of life ,
purpose ,
faith ,
longsuffering ,
charity ,
patience ,
*
Persecutions ,
afflictions ,
which came (
5633 )
unto me at Antioch ,
at Iconium ,
at Lystra ;
what persecutions I endured (
5656 ):
but out of them all the Lord delivered (
5673 )
me .
*
Yea ,
and all that will (
5723 )
live (
5721 )
godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution (
5701 ).
*
But evil men and seducers shall wax (
5692 )
worse and worse ,
deceiving (
5723 ),
and being deceived (
5746 ).
*
But continue (
5720 )
thou in the things which thou hast learned (
5627 )
and hast been assured of (
5681 ),
knowing (
5761 )
of whom thou hast learned (
5627 )
them ;
*
And that from a child thou hast known (
5758 )
the holy scriptures ,
which are able (
5740 )
to make thee wise (
5658 )
unto 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 (
5753 )
perfect ,
throughly furnished (
5772 )
unto all good works .
*
I charge (
5736 )
thee therefore before God ,
and the Lord Jesus Christ ,
who shall (
5723 )
judge (
5721 )
the quick (
5723 )
and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom ;
*
Preach (
5657 )
the word ;
be instant (
5628 )
in season ,
out of season ;
reprove (
5657 ),
rebuke (
5657 ),
exhort (
5657 )
with all longsuffering and doctrine .
*
For the time will come (
5704 )
when they will not endure (
5695 )
sound (
5723 )
doctrine ;
but after their own lusts shall they heap (
5692 )
to themselves teachers ,
having itching (
5746 )
ears ;
*
And they shall turn away (
5692 )
their ears from the truth ,
and shall be turned (
5691 )
unto fables .
*
But watch (
5720 )
thou in all things ,
endure afflictions (
5657 ),
do (
5657 )
the work of an evangelist ,
make full proof (
5657 )
of thy ministry .
*
For I am now ready to be offered (
5743 ),
and the time of my departure is at hand (
5758 ).
*
I have fought (
5766 )
a good fight ,
I have finished (
5758 )
my course ,
I have kept (
5758 )
the faith :
*
Henceforth there is laid up (
5736 )
for me a crown of righteousness ,
which the Lord ,
the righteous judge ,
shall give (
5692 )
me at that day :
and not to me only ,
but unto all them also that love (
5761 )
his appearing .
*
Do thy diligence (
5657 )
to come (
5629 )
shortly unto me :
*
For Demas hath forsaken (
5627 )
me ,
having loved (
5660 )
this present world ,
and is departed (
5675 )
unto Thessalonica ;
Crescens to Galatia ,
Titus unto Dalmatia .
*
Only Luke is (
5748 )
with me .
Take (
5631 )
Mark ,
and bring him (
5720 )
with thee :
for he is (
5748 )
profitable to me for the ministry .
*
And Tychicus have I sent (
5656 )
to Ephesus .
*
The cloke that I left (
5627 )
at Troas with Carpus ,
when thou comest (
5740 ),
bring (
5720 )
with thee ,
and the books ,
but especially the parchments .
*
Alexander the coppersmith did (
5668 )
me much evil :
the Lord reward (
5630 )
him according to his works :
*
Of whom be thou ware (
5732 )
also ;
for he hath greatly withstood (
5758 )
our words .
*
At my first answer no man stood (
5633 )
with me ,
but all men forsook (
5627 )
me :
I pray God that it may not be laid (
5678 )
to their charge .
*
Notwithstanding the Lord stood (
5627 )
with me ,
and strengthened (
5656 )
me ;
that by me the preaching might be fully known (
5686 ),
and that all the Gentiles might hear (
5661 ):
and I was delivered (
5681 )
out of the mouth of the lion .
*
And the Lord shall deliver (
5695 )
me from every evil work ,
and will preserve (
5692 )
me unto his heavenly kingdom :
to whom be glory for ever and ever .
Amen .
*
Salute (
5663 )
Prisca and Aquila ,
and the household of Onesiphorus .
*
Erastus abode (
5656 )
at Corinth :
but Trophimus have I left (
5627 )
at Miletum sick (
5723 ).
*
Do thy diligence (
5657 )
to come (
5629 )
before winter .
Eubulus greeteth (
5736 )
thee ,
and Pudens ,
and Linus ,
and Claudia ,
and all the brethren .
*
The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit .
Grace be with you .
Amen .
The second epistle unto Timotheus ,
ordained (

the first bishop of the church of the Ephesians ,
was written (

from Rome ,
when Paul was brought before (

Nero the second time .#
