Timothy chapter 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous
times shall come. 2 For
men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false
accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, but denying
the power thereof: from such turn away.6 For
of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge
of the truth. 8 Now
as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

9 But they shall proceed no further:
for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering,
charity, patience, 11 Persecutions,
afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord
delivered me. 12 Yea,
and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

13 But evil men and seducers shall wax
worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.14 But continue 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 child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which
is in Christ Jesus. 16 All
scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness: 17 That
the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
