2. Timotheusbrief - Kapitel 3 Kap. 3 - 2. Timotheusbrief

^[1]  But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come.

^[2]  For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

^[3]  without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good,

^[4]  traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

^[5]  holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof: from these also turn away.

^[6]  For of these are they that creep into houses, and take captive silly women laden with sins, led away by divers lusts,

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

^[8]  And even as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth; men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.

^[9]  But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be evident unto all men, as theirs also came to be.

^[10]  But thou didst follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,

^[11]  persecutions, sufferings; what things befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: and out of them all the Lord delivered me.

^[12]  Yea, and all that would live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

^[13]  But evil men and impostors shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

^[14]  But abide thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

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

^[16]  Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness:

^[17]  that the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.
