The Concordant Literal New Testament

Paul To Timothy (II.)

¹ Now this know, that in the last days perilous periods will be present,
² for men will be selfish, fond of money, ostentatious, proud, calumniators, stubborn to parents, ungrateful, malign,
³ without natural affection, implacable, adversaries, uncontrollable, fierce, averse to the good,
⁴ traitors, rash, conceited, fond of their own gratification rather than fond of God;
⁵ having a form of devoutness, yet denying its power.
⁶ These, also, shun. For of these are those who are slipping into homes and are leading into captivity little women, heaped with sins, being led by various lusts and gratifications,
⁷ always learning and yet not at any time able to come into a realization of the truth.
⁸ Now, by the method by which Jannes and Jambres withstand Moses, thus these also are withstanding the truth, men of a depraved mind, disqualified as to the faith.
⁹ But they shall not be progressing more, for their folly shall be obvious to all, as that of those also became.
¹⁰ Now you fully follow me in my teaching, motive, purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance,
¹¹ persecutions, sufferings, such as occurred to me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra: persecutions such as I undergo, and out of them all the Lord rescues me.
¹² And all who are wanting to live devoutly in Christ Jesus shall be persecuted.
¹³ Yet wicked men and swindlers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
¹⁴ Now you be remaining in what you learned and verified, being aware from whom you learned it,
¹⁵ and that from a babe you are acquainted with the sacred scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
¹⁶ All scripture is inspired by God, and is beneficial for teaching, for exposure, for correction, for discipline in righteousness,
¹⁷ that the man of God may be equipped, fitted out for every good act.
