 3:1  This know also, that in the last days perilous times
shall come.
 3:2  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous,
boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
unthankful, unholy,
 3:3  Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers,
incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
 3:4  Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more
than lovers of God;
 3:5  Having a form of godliness, but denying the power
thereof: from such turn away.
 3:6  For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and
lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers
lusts,
 3:7  Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of
the truth.
 3:8  Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these
also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate
concerning the faith.
 3:9  But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall
be manifest unto all [men], as theirs also was.
 3:10  But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life,
purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
 3:11  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.
 3:12  Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall
suffer persecution.
 3:13  But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse,
deceiving, and being deceived.
 3:14  But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned
and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned
[them];
 3:15  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.
 3:16  All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is]
profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness:
 3:17  That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished
unto all good works.
