| II Timothy 3: (ASV) |
| 1) But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come. |
| 2) For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, |
| 3) without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good, |
| 4) traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; |
| 5) holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof: from these also turn away. |
| 6) For of these are they that creep into houses, and take captive silly women laden with sins, led away by divers lusts, |
| 7) ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. |
| 8) And even as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth; men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith. |
| 9) But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be evident unto all men, as theirs also came to be. |
| 10) But thou didst follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience, |
| 11) persecutions, sufferings; what things befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: and out of them all the Lord delivered me. |
| 12) Yea, and all that would live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. |
| 13) But evil men and impostors shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. |
| 14) But abide thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; |
| 15) and that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. |
| 16) Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness: |
| 17) that the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work. |
