2 Timothy 3

"

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

"
"

Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

"
"

Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

"
"

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

"
"

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

"
"

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

"
"

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

"
"

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

"
"

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

"
"

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.

"
"

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

"
"

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

"
"

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

"
"

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.

"
"

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

"
"

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