2 Timothy 2:16 — 2 Timothy 3:17
16 But aavoid 1bprofane, cvain babblings, for they will advance to more 2dungodliness,
17 And their word will 1spread like 2gangrene, of whom are aHymenaeus and Philetus,
18 Who concerning the 1atruth have 2bmisaimed, saying that the cresurrection has 3already taken place, and overthrow the 4dfaith of some.
19 However the firm 1afoundation of God stands, having this 2bseal, The Lord cknows those who are His, and, Let everyone who dnames the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.
20 1But in a 2great house there are not only 3gold and silver vessels but also 4wooden and earthen; and some are unto ahonor, and some unto dishonor.
21 If therefore anyone 1cleanses himself from 2athese, he will be a bvessel 3unto honor, csanctified, duseful to the master, eprepared unto every good work.
22 But aflee youthful 1lusts, and bpursue 2righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who 3ccall on the Lord out of a 4dpure heart.
23 But 1afoolish bquestionings and those arising from an 2untrained mind refuse, knowing that they beget contentions.
24 But a aslave of the Lord ought bnot to contend but be gentle toward all, apt to cteach, bearing with wrong;
25 In ameekness correcting those who boppose, if perhaps God may give them 1crepentance unto the 2dfull knowledge of the truth,
26 And they may 1areturn to soberness out of the 2bsnare of the 3devil, having been caught alive by him, unto 4cHis will.
CHAPTER 3
1 1But know this, that in the 2last days 3difficult atimes will come.
2 For 1men will be 2lovers of self, alovers of money, bboasters, 3arrogant, 4crevilers, bdisobedient to parents, 5unthankful, dunholy,
3 aWithout natural affection, 1implacable, bslanderers, cwithout self-control, savage, cnot lovers of good,
4 1aTraitors, 2reckless, 3bblinded with pride, 4lovers of cpleasure rather than dlovers of God,
5 Having an 1outward aform of bgodliness, though cdenying its 2power; from these also dturn away.
6 For of these are those who acreep into bhouses and take captive silly women heaped with sins, who are led by cvarious desires
7 And are always learning yet never able to come to the 1afull knowledge of the truth.
8 And in the manner that 1Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these also aoppose the 2btruth; men ccorrupted in mind, 3ddisapproved concerning the 4efaith.
9 But they will not aadvance farther, for their 1folly will be completely manifest to all, as also the folly of 2those became.
10 But you have aclosely followed my teaching, 1conduct, 2bpurpose, faith, long-suffering, love, endurance,
11 aPersecutions, sufferings, such as befell me in bAntioch, in cIconium, in 1dLystra. Such persecutions I bore, and out of them all the Lord edelivered me.
12 And indeed all who 1desire to 2live agodly in Christ Jesus will be bpersecuted.
13 But evil men and 1impostors will grow worse and worse, adeceiving and being deceived.
14 But you, 1continue in the 2things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from which ones you have learned them
15 1And that afrom a babe you have known the bsacred writings, which are able to make you cwise unto dsalvation through the 2faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 1All aScripture is 2God-breathed and profitable for bteaching, for 3conviction, for 4correction, for 5instruction in righteousness,
17 That the 1aman of God may be 2complete, fully 3bequipped for every good work.
