2 Timothy 3 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

"Difficult Times Will Come"

2Ti 3:1But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.

2Ti 3:2For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,

2Ti 3:3

2Ti 3:3unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, [fn]haters of good,

2Ti 3:4

2Ti 3:4treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

2Ti 3:5

2Ti 3:5holding to a form of [fn]godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.

2Ti 3:6

2Ti 3:6For among them are those who [fn]enter into households and captivate [fn]weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses,

2Ti 3:7

2Ti 3:7always learning and never able to come to the [fn]knowledge of the truth.

2Ti 3:8

2Ti 3:8Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith.

2Ti 3:9

2Ti 3:9But they will not make further progress; for their folly will be obvious to all, just as [fn]Jannes’s and Jambres’s folly was also.

2Ti 3:10

2Ti 3:10Now you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, [fn]perseverance,

2Ti 3:11

2Ti 3:11persecutions, 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!

2Ti 3:12

2Ti 3:12Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

2Ti 3:13

2Ti 3:13But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.

2Ti 3:14

2Ti 3:14You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them,

2Ti 3:15

2Ti 3:15and 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.

2Ti 3:16

2Ti 3:16All Scripture is [fn]inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for [fn]training in righteousness;

2Ti 3:17

2Ti 3:17so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.
