2 Timothy 3 (WEBP)

[1] But know this: that in the last days, grievous times will come.
[2] For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
[3] without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, not lovers of good,
[4] traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
[5] holding a form of godliness but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also.
[6] For some of these are people who creep into houses and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,
[7] always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
[8] Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind, who concerning the faith are rejected.
[9] But they will proceed no further. For their folly will be evident to all men, as theirs also came to be.
[10] But you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness,
[11] persecutions, and sufferings—those things that happened to me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I endured those persecutions. The Lord delivered me out of them all.
[12] Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
[13] But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
[14] But you remain in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them.
[15] From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
[16] Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,
[17] that each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 3 (KJVS)

[1] 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, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
[4] traitors, heady, highminded, () 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 they () which 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 that will () live () godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. ()
[13] But evil men and seducers shall wax () worse and worse, deceiving, () and being deceived. ()
[14] But continue () thou in the things which thou hast learned () and hast been assured of, () knowing () of whom thou hast learned () them;
[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.
[16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
[17] that the man of God may be () perfect, throughly furnished () unto all good works.
