Perilous Times and Perilous Men
1But know this, that #1 Tim. 4:1; 2 Pet. 3:3; 1 John 2:18; Jude 17, 18in the last days perilous times will come: 2For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4#2 Pet. 2:10traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5#Titus 1:16having a form of godliness but #1 Tim. 5:8denying its power. And #Matt. 23:3; 2 Thess. 3:6; 1 Tim. 6:5from such people turn away! 6For #Matt. 23:14; Titus 1:11of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7always learning and never able #1 Tim. 2:4to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8#Ex. 7:11, 12, 22; 8:7; 9:11Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: #1 Tim. 6:5men of corrupt minds, #Rom. 1:28disapproved concerning the faith; 9but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, #Ex. 7:11, 12; 8:18; 9:11as theirs also was.
The Man of God and the Word of God
10#Phil. 2:20, 22; 1 Tim. 4:6But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance, 11persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me #Acts 13:44–52at Antioch, #Acts 14:1–6, 19at Iconium, #Acts 14:8–20at Lystra—what persecutions I endured. And #Ps. 34:19out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12Yes, and #(Ps. 34:19)all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. 13#2 Thess. 2:11But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14But you must #2 Tim. 1:13; Titus 1:9continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15and that from childhood you have known #Ps. 119:97–104; John 5:39the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16#(2 Pet. 1:20)All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, #Rom. 4:23; 15:4and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17#1 Tim. 6:11that the man of God may be complete, #2 Tim. 2:21; Heb. 13:21thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Opposition in the Last Days
1But understand this, that in the last days hard times will come—
2for people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3hardhearted, unforgiving, backbiting, without self-control, brutal, hating what is good,
4treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5holding to an outward form of godliness but denying its power. Avoid these people!
6For among these are those who slip into households and deceive weak women weighed down with sins, led away by various desires,
7always learning yet never able to come to the knowledge of truth.
8Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so do these people oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and worthless concerning the faith.
9But these people will not make any more progress—for their folly, like that of Jannes and Jambres, will be obvious to everyone.
10You, however, closely followed my teaching, manner of life, purpose, faithfulness, patience, love, perseverance—
11as well as persecutions and sufferings that happened to me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured! And the Lord rescued me from them all!
12Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Messiah Yeshua will be persecuted.
13But evil men and imposters will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
All Scripture Equips God’s People
14You, however, continue in what you have learned and what you have become convinced of. For you know from whom you have learned,
15and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings that are able to make you wise, leading to salvation through trusting in Messiah Yeshua.
16All Scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, for reproof, for restoration, and for training in righteousness,
17so that the person belonging to God may be capable, fully equipped for every good deed.
