CHAPTER 3
For
men
will be
lovers of themselves,
lovers of money,
boastful,
arrogant,
abusive,
disobedient
to their parents,
ungrateful,
unholy,
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,
Just as
Jannes
and
Jambres
opposed
Moses,
so
also
these
men
oppose
the
truth.
They are depraved
in mind
and disqualified
from
the
faith.
But
they will not advance
much
further.
For
just
like
Jannes and Jambres,
their
folly
will be
plain
to everyone.
You,
however,
have observed
my
teaching,
my
conduct,
my
purpose,
my
faith,
my
patience,
my
love,
my
endurance,
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.
But
as for you,
continue
in
the things
you have learned
and
firmly believed,
since you know
from
whom
you learned them.
From
infancy
you have known
the
Holy
Scriptures,
which
are able
to make you wise
for
salvation
through
faith
in
Christ
Jesus.
All
Scripture is
God-breathed
and
is useful
for
instruction,
for
conviction,
for
correction,
and for
training
in
righteousness,
