Quoteworthy: 2 Timothy 3:1-17

 

¹This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.  

²For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,  

³Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, ⁴Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;  

⁵Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.  

⁶For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,  

⁷Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 

⁸Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.  

⁹But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.  

¹⁰But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, ¹¹Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.  

¹²Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.  

¹³But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.  

¹⁴But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 

¹⁵And 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.  

¹⁶All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 

¹⁷That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
