1901 American Standard Version (ASV)

2 Timothy 3

1 He advertiseth him of the times to come, 6 describeth the enemies of the truth, 10 propoundeth unto him his own example, 16 and commendeth the holy Scriptures.

 3:1 ¶ But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come.

 3:2 For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

 3:3 without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good,

 3:4 traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

 3:5 holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof: from these also turn away.

 3:6 For of these are they that creep into houses, and take captive silly women laden with sins, led away by divers lusts,

 3:7 ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

 3:8 And even as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth. Men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.

 3:9 But they shall proceed no further. For their folly shall be evident unto all men, as theirs also came to be.

 3:10 But thou didst follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,

 3:11 persecutions, sufferings. What things befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me.

 3:12 Yea, and all that would live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

 3:13 But evil men and impostors shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

 3:14 But abide thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them.

 3:15 And that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

 3:16 Every scripture inspired of God [is] also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness.

 3:17 That the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.
