3:1

2 Timothy 3 📜 📕 ↷

Lovers of Self and Pleasure

1 AND this know thou, that in the last days shall approach perilous times.📜💬📚

2 And men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, haughty, proud, blasphemous, not obedient to their parents, unkind, wicked,📜💬📚

3 without affection, without peace, accusers, incontinent, unmerciful, without benignity,📜💬📚

Avoid Deceivers

4 traitors, stubborn, puffed up, and lovers of voluptuousness more than of God:📜💬📚

5 having an appearance indeed of piety, but denying the virtue thereof. And these avoid.📜💬📚

Women Learning Fruitlessly

6 For of these be they that craftily enter into houses; & lead captive seely women laden with sins, which are led with diverse desires:📜💬📚

7 always learning, and never attaining to the knowledge of the truth.📜💬📚

8 But as Jannes and Mambres resisted Moyses, so these also resist the truth, men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.📜💬📚

9 But they shall prosper no further: for their folly shall be manifest to all, as theirs also was.📜💬📚

All Scripture Is God-Breathed

10 But thou hast attained to my doctrine, institution, purpose, faith, longanimity, love, patience,📜💬📚

11 persecutions, passions: what manner of things were done to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra: what manner of persecutions I sustained. And out of all, our Lord delivered me.📜💬📚

12 And all that will live godly in Christ JESUS, shall suffer persecution.📜💬📚

13 But evil men & seducers shall prosper to the worse: erring, and driving into error.📜💬📚

14 But thou, continue in those things which thou hast learned, & are committed to thee: knowing of whom thou hast learned;📜💬📚

15 & because from thine infancy thou hast known the holy Scriptures, which can instruct thee to salvation, by the faith that is in Christ JESUS.📜💬📚

16 All Scripture inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to argue, to correct, to instruct in justice:📜💬📚
