CHAPTER 3 Evil Men in the Last Days

1 But this know! that in the last days [³will be present ²times ¹ill-tempered]; 2 [³will be ¹for ²men] fond of themselves, fond of money, ostentatious, proud, blasphemous, [²of parents ¹resisting the persuasion], ungracious, unholy, 3 unaffectionate, hostile, devilish, immoderate, untamed, disliking good, 4 betrayers, precipitous, being deluded, friends of pleasure rather than friends of God; 5 having the appearance of piety, but [²its power ¹denying]. Even these turn away from! 6 [²from out of ³these ¹For] are the ones entering into the houses, and capturing the vain women heaped with sins, being led [²desires ¹by various], 7 at all times learning, and not at any time [³in ⁴full knowledge ⁵of the truth ²to come ¹being able]. 8 [²in which manner ¹And] Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these oppose the truth; men being corrupted in the mind, unproved concerning the belief. 9 But they shall not progress unto more; for their thoughtlessness will be evident to all, as also their's was.

Imitate Paul's Conduct

10 But you have closely followed my instruction in the conduct, in the intention, in the belief, in the long-suffering, in the love, in the endurance, 11 in the persecutions, in the sufferings, such as happened to me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra-- of such persecutions I endured. And from out of all [³rescued me ¹the ²Lord]. 12 [²even ³all ¹But] the ones wanting [²piously ¹to live] in Christ Jesus shall be persecuted. 13 But wicked men and impostors shall progress unto the worse, misleading, and being misled. 14 But you abide in the things which you learned, and were trustworthy! knowing from whom you learned. 15 And that from a babe [²the ³consecrated ⁴writings ¹you knew], the ones being able to make you wise unto deliverance, through belief, of the one in Christ Jesus.

Scripture Is God Inspired

16 Every scripture is God inspired, and beneficial for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction-- the one in righteousness; 17 that [⁵complete ⁴should be ¹the ³of God ²man] for [²every ⁴work ³good ¹accomplishing].
