2 Timothy - Chapter 3

	2Ti 3:1	But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of stress.
	2Ti 3:2	For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
	2Ti 3:3	inhuman, implacable, slanderers, profligates, fierce, haters of good,
	2Ti 3:4	treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
	2Ti 3:5	holding the form of religion but denying the power of it. Avoid such people.
	2Ti 3:6	For among them are those who make their way into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and swayed by various impulses,
	2Ti 3:7	who will listen to anybody and can never arrive at a knowledge of the truth.
	2Ti 3:8	As Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of corrupt mind and counterfeit faith;
	2Ti 3:9	but they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.
	2Ti 3:10	Now you have observed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness,
	2Ti 3:11	my persecutions, my sufferings, what befell me at Antioch, at Ico'nium, and at Lystra, what persecutions I endured; yet from them all the Lord rescued me.
	2Ti 3:12	Indeed all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
	2Ti 3:13	while evil men and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceivers and deceived.
	2Ti 3:14	But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it
	2Ti 3:15	and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings which are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
	2Ti 3:16	All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
	2Ti 3:17	that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
