| But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of stress. | The Character of Men in the Last Days 2Tm.3.1-9 | ||
| For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, | |||
| inhuman, implacable, slanderers, profligates, fierce, haters of good, | |||
| treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, | |||
| holding the form of religion but denying the power of it. Avoid such people. | |||
| For among them are those who make their way into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and swayed by various impulses, | |||
| who will listen to anybody and can never arrive at a knowledge of the truth. | |||
| As Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of corrupt mind and counterfeit faith; | |||
| but they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men. | |||
| Now you have observed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, | Last Charge to Timothy 2Tm.3.10-4.8 | ||
| my persecutions, my sufferings, what befell me at Antioch, at Ico'nium, and at Lystra, what persecutions I endured; yet from them all the Lord rescued me. | |||
| Indeed all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, | |||
| while evil men and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceivers and deceived. | |||
| But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it | |||
| and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings which are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. | |||
| All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, | |||
| that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. | |||
