2 Timothy 3

The Darby Translation DBY

1 But this know, that in [the] last days difficult times shall be there;

2 for men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, evil speakers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, profane,

3 without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, of unsubdued passions, savage, having no love for what is good,

4 traitors, headlong, of vain pretensions, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

5 having a form of piety but denying the power of it: and from these turn away.

6 For of these are they who are getting into houses, and leading captive silly women, laden with sins, led by various lusts,

7 always learning, and never able to come to [the] knowledge of [the] truth.

8 Now in the same manner in which Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, thus these also withstand the truth; men corrupted in mind, found worthless as regards the faith.

9 But they shall not advance farther; for their folly shall be completely manifest to all, as that of those also became.

10 But *thou* hast been thoroughly acquainted with my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, endurance,

11 persecutions, sufferings: what [sufferings] happened to me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; what persecutions I endured; and the Lord delivered me out of all.

12 And all indeed who desire to live piously in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

13 But wicked men and juggling impostors shall advance in evil, leading and being led astray.

14 But *thou*, abide in those things which thou hast learned, and [of which] thou hast been fully persuaded, knowing of whom thou hast learned [them];

15 and that from a child thou hast known the sacred letters, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through faith which [is] in Christ Jesus.

16 Every scripture [is] divinely inspired, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness;

17 that the man of God may be complete, fully fitted to every good work.

New Century Version NCV

1 Remember this! In the last days there will be many troubles,

2 because people will love themselves, love money, brag, and be proud. They will say evil things against others and will not obey their parents or be thankful or be the kind of people God wants.

3 They will not love others, will refuse to forgive, will gossip, and will not control themselves. They will be cruel, will hate what is good,

4 will turn against their friends, and will do foolish things without thinking. They will be conceited, will love pleasure instead of God,

5 and will act as if they serve God but will not have his power. Stay away from those people.

6 Some of them go into homes and get control of silly women who are full of sin and are led by many evil desires.

7 These women are always learning new teachings, but they are never able to understand the truth fully.

8 Just as Jannes and Jambres were against Moses, these people are against the truth. Their thinking has been ruined, and they have failed in trying to follow the faith.

9 But they will not be successful in what they do, because as with Jannes and Jambres, everyone will see that they are foolish.

10 But you have followed what I teach, the way I live, my goal, faith, patience, and love. You know I never give up.

11 You know how I have been hurt and have suffered, as in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I have suffered, but the Lord saved me from all those troubles.

12 Everyone who wants to live as God desires, in Christ Jesus, will be hurt.

13 But people who are evil and cheat others will go from bad to worse. They will fool others, but they will also be fooling themselves.

14 But you should continue following the teachings you learned. You know they are true, because you trust those who taught you.

15 Since you were a child you have known the Holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise. And that wisdom leads to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

16 All Scripture is given by God and is useful for teaching, for showing people what is wrong in their lives, for correcting faults, and for teaching how to live right.

17 Using the Scriptures, the person who serves God will be capable, having all that is needed to do every good work.
