2 Timothy 3

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.

2 Timothy 3
3
1But this know, that in the last days difficult times shall be there; 2for men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, evil speakers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, profane, 3without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, of unsubdued passions, savage, having no love for what is good, 4traitors, headlong, of vain pretensions, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; 5having a form of piety but denying the power of it: and from these turn away. 6For of these are they who are getting into houses, and leading captive silly women, laden with sins, led by various lusts, 7always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8Now in the same manner in which Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, thus these also withstand the truth; men corrupted in mind, found worthless as regards the faith. 9But they shall not advance farther; for their folly shall be completely manifest to all, as that of those also became.
10But thou hast been thoroughly acquainted with my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, endurance, 11persecutions, sufferings: what sufferings happened to me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; what persecutions I endured; and the Lord delivered me out of all. 12And all indeed who desire to live piously in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. 13But wicked men and juggling impostors shall advance in evil, leading and being led astray. 14But thou, abide in those things which thou hast learned, and of which thou hast been fully persuaded, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15and that from a child thou hast known the sacred letters, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16Every scripture is divinely inspired, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; 17that the man of God may be complete, fully fitted to every good work.
