Berean Bible

2 Timothy

3

1 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will be present. 2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boasters, proud, verbally abusive, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, savage, haters of good, 4 betrayers, reckless, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And turn away from these. 6 For out of this sort are those entering into households and taking captive weak women, burdened with sins, being led away by various passions, 7 always learning and never being able to come to a knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these oppose the truth, men being depraved in mind, disqualified regarding the faith. 9 But they will not advance much further, for their folly will be plain to all, as also that of those two became. 10 But you have closely followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, 11 persecutions, sufferings such as happened to me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; what manner of persecutions I endured! And yet the Lord delivered me out of all. 12 And all also desiring to live piously in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. 13 But evil men and impostors will advance to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14 But you, abide in the things you have learned and have been assured of, having known from whom you learned them, 15 and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings, being able to make you wise unto salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be complete, having been fully equipped toward every good work.
