The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy

⭑ Douay-Rheims :: World English Bible Catholic ⭑

- Kapitel 3 -

Know also this, that, in the last days, shall come dangerous times.

Men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, haughty, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked,

Without affection, without peace, slanderers, incontinent, unmerciful, without kindness,

Traitors, stubborn, puffed up, and lovers of pleasures more than of God:

Having an appearance indeed of godliness, but denying the power thereof. Now these avoid.

For of these sort are they who creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, who are led away with divers desires:

Ever learning, and never attaining to the knowledge of the truth.

Now as Jannes and Mambres resisted Moses, so these also resist the truth, men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.

But they shall proceed no farther; for their folly shall be manifest to all men, as theirs also was.

All Scripture Is God-Breathed

(Hebrews 4:12–16)

But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,

Persecutions, afflictions: such as came upon me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra: what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord delivered me.

And all that will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution.

But evil men and seducers shall grow worse and worse: erring, and driving into error.

But continue thou in those things which thou hast learned, and which have been committed to thee: knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

And because from thy infancy thou hast known the holy scriptures, which can instruct thee to salvation, by the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice,

That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work.

But know this: that in the last days, grievous times will come.

For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, not lovers of good,

traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

holding a form of godliness but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also.

For some of these are people who creep into houses and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,

always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind, who concerning the faith are rejected.

But they will proceed no further. For their folly will be evident to all men, as theirs also came to be.

All Scripture Is God-Breathed

(Hebrews 4:12–16)

But you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness,

persecutions, and sufferings—those things that happened to me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I endured those persecutions. The Lord delivered me out of them all.

Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

But you remain in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them.

From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Every Scripture is God-breathed and

(a)

profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,

that each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
