3:1  But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
3:2  For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3:3  unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
3:4  treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
3:5  holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.
3:6  For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses,
3:7  always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
3:8  Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith.
3:9  But they will not make further progress; for their folly will be obvious to all, just as Jannes's and Jambres's folly was also.
3:10  Now you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, perseverance,
3:11  persecutions, and sufferings, such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord rescued me!
3:12  Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
3:13  But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
3:14  You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them,
3:15  and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
3:16  All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;
3:17  so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.
