NASB Bible

2 Timothy 3

"Difficult Times Will Come"

1

But realize this, that  ain the last days difficult times will come.

2

For men will be  alovers of self,  blovers of money,  cboastful,  carrogant,  drevilers,  cdisobedient to parents,  eungrateful,  funholy,

3

 aunloving, irreconcilable,  bmalicious gossips, without self-control, brutal,  1 chaters of good,

4

 atreacherous,  breckless,  cconceited,  dlovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

5

holding to a form of  1 agodliness, although they have  bdenied its power;  cAvoid such men as these.

6

For among them are those who  1 aenter into households and captivate  2 bweak women weighed down with sins, led on by  cvarious impulses,

7

always learning and never able to  acome to the  1knowledge of the truth.

8

Just as  aJannes and Jambres  bopposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth,  cmen of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith.

9

But they will not make further progress; for their  afolly will be obvious to all, just  bas  1Jannes's and Jambres's folly was also.

10

Now you  afollowed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience,  blove,  1perseverance,

11

 apersecutions, and  bsufferings, such as happened to me at  cAntioch, at  dIconium and at  eLystra; what  fpersecutions I endured, and out of them all  gthe Lord rescued me!

12

Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus  awill be persecuted.

13

But evil men and impostors  awill proceed from bad to worse,  bdeceiving and being deceived.

14

You, however,  acontinue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them,

15

and that  afrom childhood you have known  bthe sacred writings which are able to  cgive you the wisdom that leads to  dsalvation through faith which is in  eChrist Jesus.

16

 aAll Scripture is  1inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for  2training in righteousness;

17

so that  athe man of God may be adequate,  bequipped for every good work.
