📖 2 Timothy introduction

Read the chapter

1But know this, that in the last days, grievous times will come. ✦ 2For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, ✦ 3without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, not lovers of good, ✦ 4traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; ✦ 5holding a form of godliness, but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also. ✦ 6For some of these are people who creep into houses, and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, ✦ 7always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. ✦ 8Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so do these also oppose the truth; men corrupted in mind, who concerning the faith, are rejected. ✦ 9But they will proceed no further. For their folly will be evident to all men, as theirs also came to be. ✦ 10But you did follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness, ✦ 11persecutions, and sufferings: those things that happened to me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I endured those persecutions. The Lord delivered me out of them all. ✦ 12Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. ✦ 13But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. ✦ 14But you remain in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them. ✦ 15From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith, which is in Christ Jesus. ✦ 16Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, ✦ 17that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. ✦
