Textus Receptus Bibles
Jay P. Green's Literal Translation 1993
| 3:1 | But know this, that in the last days grievous times will be upon us . |
| 3:2 | For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, braggarts, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, |
| 3:3 | without natural feeling, unyielding, slanderers, without self-control, savage, haters of good, |
| 3:4 | betrayers, reckless, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, |
| 3:5 | having a form of godliness, but denying the power of it; even turn away from these. |
| 3:6 | For of these are those creeping into houses and leading silly women captive, the ones having been heaped with sins, being led away by various lusts, |
| 3:7 | always learning, but never being able to come to a full knowledge of the truth. |
| 3:8 | But in the way Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so also these withstand the truth, men having been corrupted in mind, found worthless as to the faith. |
| 3:9 | But they will not go further, for their foolishness will be plain to all, as also that of those became. |
| 3:10 | But you have closely followed my doctrine, the conduct, the purpose, the faith, the long-suffering, the love, the patient endurance, |
| 3:11 | the persecutions, the sufferings, such as happened to me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra, what persecutions I bore. And the Lord delivered me out of all. |
| 3:12 | And, indeed, all desiring to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. |
| 3:13 | But evil men and pretenders will go forward to worse, leading astray and being led astray. |
| 3:14 | But you keep on in what you learned and were assured of, knowing from whom you learned, |
| 3:15 | and that from a babe you know the Holy Scriptures, those being able to make you wise to salvation through belief in Christ Jesus. |
| 3:16 | Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, |
| 3:17 | so that the man of God may be perfected, fully furnished for every good work. |
