CHAPTER 3

1
But
understand
this:
In
the last
days
terrible
times
will come.
2
For
men
will be
lovers of themselves,
lovers of money,
boastful,
arrogant,
abusive,
disobedient
to their parents,
ungrateful,
unholy,
3
unloving,
unforgiving,
slanderous,
without self-control,
brutal,
without love of good,
4
traitorous,
reckless,
conceited,
lovers of pleasure
rather
than
lovers of God,
5
having
a form
of godliness
but
denying
its
power.
Turn away from
such as these!
6
They are
the kind who
worm their way
into
households
and
captivate
vulnerable women
who are weighed down
with sins
and led astray
by various
passions,
7
always
learning
but
never
able
to come
to
a knowledge
of the truth.
8
Just as
Jannes
and
Jambres
opposed
Moses,
so
also
these
men
oppose
the
truth.
They are depraved
in mind
and disqualified
from
the
faith.
9
But
they will not advance
much
further.
For
just
like
Jannes and Jambres,
their
folly
will be
plain
to everyone.
10
You,
however,
have observed
my
teaching,
my
conduct,
my
purpose,
my
faith,
my
patience,
my
love,
my
endurance,
11
my
persecutions,
and the
sufferings
that
came upon
me
in
Antioch,
Iconium,
and
Lystra.
What
persecutions
I endured!
Yet
the
Lord
rescued
me
from
all of them.
12
Indeed,
all
who
desire
to live
godly lives
in
Christ
Jesus
will be persecuted,
13
while
evil
men
and
imposters
go from bad
to
worse,
deceiving
and
being deceived.
14
But
as for you,
continue
in
the things
you have learned
and
firmly believed,
since you know
from
whom
you learned them.
15
From
infancy
you have known
the
Holy
Scriptures,
which
are able
to make you wise
for
salvation
through
faith
in
Christ
Jesus.
16
All
Scripture is
God-breathed
and
is useful
for
instruction,
for
conviction,
for
correction,
and for
training
in
righteousness,
17
so that
the
man
of God
may be
complete,
fully equipped
for
every
good
work.
