| # Chapter 3
#### 1 | But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come.
#### 2 | For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
#### 3 | without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good,
#### 4 | traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;
#### 5 | holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power therefore. From these also turn away.
#### 6 | For of these are they that creep into houses, and take captive silly women laden with sins, led away by divers lusts,
#### 7 | ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
#### 8 | And even as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth. Men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.
#### 9 | But they shall proceed no further. For their folly shall be evident unto all men, as theirs also came to be.
#### 10 | But thou didst follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,
#### 11 | persecutions, sufferings. What things befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me.
#### 12 | Yea, and all that would live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
#### 13 | But evil men and impostors shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
#### 14 | But abide thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them.
#### 15 | And that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
#### 16 | Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness.
#### 17 | That the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.
