2 Timothy 3:1-9

Common English Bible CEB

1 Understand that the last days will be dangerous times.

2 People will be selfish and love money. They will be the kind of people who brag and who are proud. They will slander others, and they will be disobedient to their parents. They will be ungrateful, unholy,

3 unloving, contrary, and critical. They will be without self-control and brutal, and they won't love what is good.

4 They will be people who are disloyal, reckless, and conceited. They will love pleasure instead of loving God.

5 They will look like they are religious but deny God's power. Avoid people like this.

6 Some will slither into households and control immature women who are burdened with sins and driven by all kinds of desires.

7 These women are always learning, but they can never arrive at an understanding of the truth.

8 These people oppose the truth in the same way that Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses. Their minds are corrupt and their faith is counterfeit.

9 But they won't get very far. Their foolishness will become obvious to everyone like those others.

New International Version NIV

1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.

2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,

3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,

4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—

5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires,

7 always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.

8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected.

9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.
