\v 1 But know this: in the last days there will be difficult times.
|
|
\v 2 For people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
|
|
\v 3 without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, violent, not lovers of good,
|
|
\v 4 betrayers, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 5 They will have an appearance of godliness, but they will deny its power. Turn away from these people.
|
|
\v 6 For some of them are men who enter into households and captivate foolish women. These are women who are heaped up with sins and are led away by various desires.
|
|
\v 7 These women are always learning new things. But they are never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 8 In the same way that Jannes and Jambres stood against Moses, so these false teachers also stand against the truth. They are men destroyed in mind, unapproved regarding the faith.
|
|
\v 9 But they will not advance very far. For their foolishness will be obvious to all, just like that of those men.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 10 But as for you, you have followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,
|
|
\v 11 persecutions, sufferings, and what happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra. I endured such persecutions. Out of them all, the Lord rescued me.
|
|
\v 12 All those who want to live in a godly manner in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
|
|
\v 13 Evil people and impostors will go to even worse. They will lead others astray. They themselves are being led astray.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 14 But as for you, remain in the things that you have learned and have firmly believed. You know from whom you have learned.
|
|
\v 15 You know that from childhood you have known the sacred writings. These are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
|

|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 16 All scripture has been inspired by God. It is profitable for doctrine, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness.
|
|
\v 17 This is so that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.
