3:1

2 Timothy 3 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷

Lovers of Self and Pleasure

1 AND this know thou, that in the last days shall approach perilous times.

2 And men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, haughty, proud, blasphemous, not obedient to their parents, unkind, wicked,

3 without affection, without peace, accusers, incontinent, unmerciful, without benignity,

Avoid Deceivers

4 traitors, stubborn, puffed up, and lovers of voluptuousness more than of God:

5 having an appearance indeed of piety, but denying the virtue thereof. And these avoid.

Women Learning Fruitlessly

6 For of these be they that craftily enter into houses; & lead captive seely women laden with sins, which are led with diverse desires:

7 always learning, and never attaining to the knowledge of the truth.

8 But as Jannes and Mambres resisted Moyses, so these also resist the truth, men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.

9 But they shall prosper no further: for their folly shall be manifest to all, as theirs also was.

All Scripture Is God-Breathed

10 But thou hast attained to my doctrine, institution, purpose, faith, longanimity, love, patience,

11 persecutions, passions: what manner of things were done to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra: what manner of persecutions I sustained. And out of all, our Lord delivered me.

12 And all that will live godly in Christ JESUS, shall suffer persecution.
