2 Timothy 3 — MSB

3Verse 1But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come.^{Verse 2}For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,^{Verse 3}unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good,^{Verse 4}traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,^{Verse 5}having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these!^{Verse 6}They are the kind who worm their way into households and captivate vulnerable women who are weighed down with sins and led astray by various passions,^{Verse 7}who are always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.^{Verse 8}Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth. They are depraved in mind and disqualified from the faith.^{Verse 9}But they will not advance much further. For just like Jannes and Jambres, their folly will be plain to everyone.^{Verse 10}You, however, have observed my teaching, my conduct, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, my perseverance,^{Verse 11}my persecutions, and the sufferings that came upon me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured! Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them.^{Verse 12}Indeed, all who desire to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,^{Verse 13}while evil men and imposters go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.^{Verse 14}But as for you, continue in the things you have learned and firmly believed, since you know from whom you have learned them.^{Verse 15}From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.^{Verse 16}All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness,^{Verse 17}so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.
