2 Timothy 3 — WBMS
3Verse 1But know thou this thing, that in the last days perilous times shall nigh,Verse 2and men shall be loving them-selves, covetous, high of bearing, proud, blasphemers, not obedient to father and mother, unkind, cursed,Verse 3without affection, [or good will], without peace, false blamers [or false challengers], uncontinent, [or unchaste], unmild, without benignity,Verse 4traitors, over-thwart [or froward], swollen [or blown]with proud thoughts, blind, lovers of lusts more than of God,Verse 5having the likeness of piety, but denying the virtue of it. And eschew thou these men.Verse 6Of these they be that pierce houses, and lead women captives [or and lead little women captive], charged with sins, which be led with diverse desires,Verse 7evermore learning, and never perfectly coming to the science, [or to the knowing], of truth.Verse 8And as Jannes and Jambres against-stood Moses, so these against-stand the truth, men corrupt in understanding [or in soul], reproved about the faith.Verse 9But further they shall not profit, for the unwisdom of them shall be known to all men, as theirs was.Verse 10But thou hast gotten my teaching [or my doctrine], ordinance, purposing [or purpose], faith, long abiding, love, patience,Verse 11persecutions, passions, which were made to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra, what manner persecutions I suffered, and the Lord hath delivered me of all.Verse 12And all men that will live faithfully [or piously] in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution.Verse 13But evil men and deceivers shall increase into worse, erring [them-selves], and sending [others] into error.Verse 14But dwell thou in these things that thou hast learned, and that be betaken to thee, witting of whom thou hast learned;Verse 15for thou hast known holy letters from thy youth, which may learn thee [or may inform thee] to health, by faith that is in Christ Jesus.Verse 16For all scripture inspired of God is profitable to teach, to reprove, to chastise, [for] to learn in rightwiseness,Verse 17that the man of God be perfect, learned to all good work[s].
