¶ Start
The Second Epistle of Paul to Timothy , Chapter 3 . Here is what I want you to know . There will be terrible times in the last days . People will love themselves . They will love money . They will brag and be proud . They will tear others down . They will not obey their parents . They won't be thankful or holy . They won't love others . They won't forgive others .
They will tell lies about people . They will be out of control . They will be wild . They will hate what is good . They will turn against their friends . They will act without thinking . They will think they are better than others . They will love what pleases them instead of loving God . They will act as if they were serving God .
But what they do will show that they have turned their backs on God's power . Have nothing to do with these people . They are the kind to trick their way into the homes of some women . These women are ready to believe anything and they take control over these women . These women are loaded down with sins . They give in to all kinds of evil desires .
They are always learning , but they are never able to come to know the truth . Janes and Jambres opposed Moses . In the same way , the teachers I'm talking about opposed the truth . Their minds are twisted as far as the faith is concerned . God doesn't accept them . They won't get very far .
Just like Janes and Jambres , their foolish ways will be clear to everyone . You know that I was treated badly . You know that I suffered greatly . You know what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch , iconium and Lystra . You know how badly I have been treated , but the Lord saved me from all my troubles .
In fact , everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be treated badly . Evil people and pretenders will go from bad to worse . They will fool others and others will fool them . But I want you to continue to follow what you have learned and are sure about .
You know the people you learned it from and are sure about you know the people you learned it from . You have known the Holy Scriptures ever since you were a little child . They are able to teach you how to be saved by believing in Christ Jesus . God has breathed life into all Scripture . It is useful for teaching us what is true .
It is useful for teaching us what is true . It is useful for correcting our mistakes . It is useful for making our lives whole again . It is useful for training us to do what is right . By using scripture , the servant of God can be completely prepared to do every good thing .
