| But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. | |
| For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, | |
| unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, | |
| treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, | |
| holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these. | |
| For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, | |
| always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. | |
| Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these {men} also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith. | |
| 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. | |
| Now you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, perseverance, | |
| 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! | |
| Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. | |
| But evil men and impostors will proceed {from bad} to worse, deceiving and being deceived. | |
| You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned {them,} | |
| 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. | |
| All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; | |
| so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. |
