"Difficult
Times Will Come" |
|
|
 |
2 Timothy 3:1
|
|
But realize this, that in the last days difficult
times will come. |
|
|
|
2 Timothy 3:2
|
|
For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money,
boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, |
|
|
|
2 Timothy 3:3
|
|
unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips,
without self-control, brutal, haters of good, |
|
|
|
2 Timothy 3:4
|
|
treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of
pleasure rather than lovers of God, |
|
|
|
2 Timothy 3:5
|
|
holding to a form of godliness, although they
have denied its power; Avoid such men as these. |
|
|
|
2 Timothy 3:6
|
|
For among them are those who enter into households
and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, |
|
|
|
2 Timothy 3:7
|
|
always learning and never able to come to the
knowledge of the truth. |
|
|
|
2 Timothy 3:8
|
|
Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so
these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the
faith. |
|
|
|
2 Timothy 3:9
|
|
But they will not make further progress; for
their folly will be obvious to all, just as Jannes's and Jambres's folly was also. |
|
|
|
2 Timothy 3:10
|
|
Now you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose,
faith, patience, love, perseverance, |
|
|
|
2 Timothy 3:11
|
|
persecutions, and sufferings, such as happened
to me at Antioch, at Iconium and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out
of them all the Lord rescued me! |
|
|
|
2 Timothy 3:12
|
|
Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ
Jesus will be persecuted. |
|
|
|
2 Timothy 3:13
|
|
But evil men and impostors will proceed from
bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. |
|
|
|
2 Timothy 3:14
|
|
You, however, continue in the things you have
learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them, |
|
|
|
2 Timothy 3:15
|
|
and that from childhood you have known the sacred
writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through
faith which is in Christ Jesus. |
|
|
|
2 Timothy 3:16
|
|
All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable
for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; |
|
|
|
2 Timothy 3:17
|
|
so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped
for every good work. |
