2Timothy - Chapter 3 | American Standard Version

  • 1. But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come.
  • 2. For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
  • 3. without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good,
  • 4. traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;
  • 5. holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof: from these also turn away.
  • 6. For of these are they that creep into houses, and take captive silly women laden with sins, led away by divers lusts,
  • 7. ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
  • 8. And even as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth. Men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.
  • 9. But they shall proceed no further. For their folly shall be evident unto all men, as theirs also came to be.
  • 10. But thou didst follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,
  • 11. persecutions, sufferings. What things befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me.
  • 12. Yea, and all that would live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
  • 13. But evil men and impostors shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
  • 14. But abide thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them.
  • 15. And that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
  • 16. Every scripture inspired of God {cf15i is} also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness.
  • 17. That the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.
