2Timothy - Chapter 3 | New King James Version

  • 1. But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:
  • 2. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
  • 3. unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,
  • 4. traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
  • 5. having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!
  • 6. For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,
  • 7. always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
  • 8. Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith;
  • 9. but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.
  • 10. But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance,
  • 11. persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra--what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me.
  • 12. Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
  • 13. But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
  • 14. But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them,
  • 15. and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
  • 16. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
  • 17. that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
