Evil in the Last Days 1BUT this know, that in the last days distressing times will come.
2For men will be self-lovers, money-lovers, boasters, vainglorious, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3unnatural, implacable, slanderers, intemperate, inhuman, averse to goodness,
4treacherous, wilful, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God;
5holding the form of godliness, but denying the power of it: from these men turn with aversion.
6For such are they who insinuate themselves into houses, and captivate weak women laden with accumulated sins, and actuated by a variety of passions,
7always learning, yet never able to attain unto the knowledge of truth.
8But in the same manner as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so do these also set themselves in opposition to the truth; men corrupt in mind, reprobate respecting the faith.
9But they shall not proceed to the uttermost; for their infatuation shall be evident to all men, as theirs also was. All Scripture Is God-Breathed 10But thou hast fully known my doctrine, conduct, purpose, faith, long-suffering, love, patience,
11the persecutions, the sufferings, which beset me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, yet out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12And all indeed who will live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
13But wicked men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and deceived.
14But abide thou in the things which thou hast learned and believed, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15and that from a child thou hast known the sacred writings, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Jesus Christ.
16All scripture is given by the inspiration of God, and advantageous for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness
17that the man of God may be properly furnished, fully qualified for every good work. A Translation of the New Testament from the original Greek Thomas Haweis 1795 Digital Text Courtesy TheWord.net Bible Software. Section Headings Courtesy Berean Bible. |
