“1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud,
blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without
natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce,
despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers
of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but
denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are
they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with
sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to
come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres
withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt
minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no
further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all [men], as theirs
also was.”
“10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose,
faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11 Persecutions, afflictions,
which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions
I endured: but out of [them] all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yea, and all
that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But
evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being
deceived. 14 But continue 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 child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to
make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16
All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good
works.” (2 Timothy 3:1-17 AV)
