1But know this: Difficult times will come in the last days.[#Jn 6:39; Php 1:6; 1Pt 1:5; 2Pt 3:3; Jd 18]
2For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,[#Php 2:21; 1Tm 6:4; #Lk 16:14; 1Tm 3:3; 6:10; #Pr 16:18; Lk 1:51; Rm 1:30; #1Tm 1:9]
3unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, without love for what is good,[#Jn 14:6; #Ti 1:8]
4traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,[#Lk 6:16; Ac 7:52; #Ac 19:36; #1Tm 3:6; 6:4; #Php 3:19]
5holding to the form of godliness but denying its power. Avoid these people![#1Co 4:20; 2Co 13:4; Ti 1:16; #Mt 7:15; 2Th 3:6]
6For among them are those who worm their way into households and capture idle women burdened down with sins, led along by a variety of passions,[#2Pt 1:4; 2:10]
7always learning and never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.[#2Co 11:10; 1Tm 2:4; 2Tm 2:25; Ti 1:1]
8Just as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so these also resist the truth, men who are corrupt in mind, worthless in regard to the faith.[#Ex 7:11-12; 8:18; 9:11; #Ps 77:20; Mt 8:4; Heb 3:2; #1Co 14:14; Php 4:7; #2Co 13:5-7]
9But they will not make further progress, for their lack of understanding will be clear to all, as theirs was also.[#= Jannes and Jambres]
10But you have followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, and endurance,[#Pr 19:21; Ac 11:23; #1Co 13:1; 1Jn 4:16]
11along with the persecutions and sufferings that came to me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured! Yet the Lord rescued me from them all.[#Gl 5:24; Php 3:10; #Ac 13:14; 14:19,21; #Ac 13:51; 16:2; #Ac 14:6,8; 27:5]
12In fact, all those who want to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.[#Jn 15:20; Ac 14:22; 2Co 4:9-10]
13Evil people and impostors will become worse, deceiving and being deceived.[#Rv 20:10]
14But as for you, continue in what you have learned and firmly believed. You know those who taught you,[#2Tm 1:13]
15and you know that from childhood you have known the sacred Scriptures, which are able to give you wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.[#Mt 26:54; 2Pt 1:20-21; #Ac 4:12; 2Co 7:10; Heb 5:9]
16All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness,[#Lit breathed out by God ; the Scripture is the product of God’s Spirit working through men; 2Pt 1:20-21.; #2Pt 1:20-21]
17so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.[#2Co 9:8; Gl 3:10; 1Tm 5:10; 2Tm 2:21]
