Murdock - II Timothy - 3

3:1  But this know thou, that in the latter days hard times will come:

3:2  and men will be lovers of themselves, and lovers of money, boasters, proud, censorious, unyielding towards their own people, denyers of grace, wicked,

3:3  calumniators, addicted to concupiscence, ferocious, haters of the good,

3:4  treacherous, rash, inflated, attached to pleasure more than to the love of God,

3:5  having a form of respect for God, but wide from the power of God. Them who are such, repel from thee.

3:6  For of them are they who creep into this and that house, and captivate the women who are plunged in sins and led away by divers lusts,

3:7  who are always learning, and can never come to the knowledge of the truth.

3:8  Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so also do these withstand the truth: men whose mind is corrupted, and they reprobates from the faith.

3:9  But they will not make progress, for their infatuation will be understood by every one, as theirs also was understood.

3:10  But thou hast followed after my doctrine, and my manner of life, and my aims, and my faith, and my long suffering, and my love, and my patience,

3:11  and my persecution, and my sufferings. And thou knowest what I endured at Antioch, and at Iconium, and at Lystra; what persecution I endured: and from all these my Lord delivered me.

3:12  And likewise all, who choose to live in the fear of God, in Jesus the Messiah, will be persecuted.

3:13  But evil and seducing men will add to their wickedness, while they deceive and are deceived.

3:14  But continue thou in the things thou hast learned and been assured of; for thou knowest from whom thou learnedst;

3:15  because from thy childhood, thou wast taught the holy books, which can make thee wise unto life, by faith in Jesus the Messiah.

3:16  All scripture that was written by the Spirit, is profitable for instruction, and for confutation, and for correction, and for erudition in righteousness;

3:17  that the man of God may become perfect, and complete for every good work.
