2 TIMOTHY 3...
1/ But understand this: there will be terrifying times in the last days.
2/ People will be self-centered and lovers of money, proud, haughty, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, irreligious,
3/ callous, implacable, slanderous, licentious, brutal, hating what is good,
4/ traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5/ as they make a pretense of religion but deny its power. Reject them.
6/ For some of these slip into homes and make captives of women weighed down by sins, led by various desires,
7/ always trying to learn but never able to reach a knowledge of the truth.
8/ Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so they also oppose the truth—people of depraved mind, unqualified in the faith.
9/ But they will not make further progress, for their foolishness will be plain to all, as it was with those two.

10/ You have followed my teaching, way of life, purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance,
11/ persecutions, and sufferings, such as happened to me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra, persecutions that I endured. Yet from all these things the Lord delivered me.
12/ In fact, all who want to live religiously in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
13/ But wicked people and charlatans will go from bad to worse, deceivers and deceived.
14/ But you, remain faithful to what you have learned and believed, because you know from whom you learned it,
15/ and that from infancy you have known [the] sacred scriptures, which are capable of giving you wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
16/ All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
17/ so that one who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every good work.
