2 Timothy 3:1-12 ▼

1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men will be lovers of themselves, moneylovers, arrogant, proud, blasphemous, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,

3 without natural affections, covenant breakers, devilish, intemperate, furious, opposed to good,

4 traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

5 having a form of godliness, but denying the power of the same: and from these turn away.

6 For of these are those creeping into houses, and leading captive little, silly women laden with sins, being led by divers lusts,

7 always learning, and never able to come into the perfect knowledge of the truth.

8 In the manner in which Jannes and Jambres also resisted Moses, so these indeed resist the truth; men who are corrupt as to their mind, reprobate concerning the faith.

9 But they shall proceed no further: for their insanity will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.

10 Burt you have followed my teaching, leadership, purpose, faith, long suffering, divine love, patience,

11 persecutions, sufferings; such as came to me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; such persecutions as I endured: and the Lord delivered me out of them all.

12 But truly all wishing to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
