2 Timothy 3:1-13

21st Century King James Version

3 This know also: that in the last days perilous times shall come.

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

³ without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, without selfcontrol, fierce, despisers of those who are good,

⁴ traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God,

⁵ having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof. From such turn away.

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

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

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

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

¹⁰ But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

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.

¹² Yea, and all who will live a godly life in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

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