The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy

 1 This know also, that in the ^alast days perilous ^btimes shall come.

 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, ^acovetous, boasters, ^bproud, blasphemers, ^cdisobedient to parents, ^dunthankful, unholy,

 3 Without ^anatural ^baffection, ^ctrucebreakers, ^dfalse accusers, ^eincontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

 4 ^aTraitors, ^bheady, ^chighminded, lovers of ^dpleasures more than lovers of God;

 5 Having a ^aform of godliness, but ^bdenying the power thereof: from such turn away.

 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly ^awomen laden with sins, led away with divers ^blusts,

 7 Ever ^alearning, and never able to come to the ^bknowledge of the ^ctruth.

 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also ^aresist the truth: men of ^bcorrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their ^afolly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

 10 But thou hast ^afully 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 ^apersecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

 12 Yea, and all that will live ^agodly in Christ Jesus shall ^bsuffer ^cpersecution.

 13 But evil men and ^aseducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

 14 But ^acontinue 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 ^achild thou hast known the holy ^bscriptures, which are able to make thee ^cwise unto ^dsalvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

 16 ^aAll ^bscripture is given by ^cinspiration of God, and is ^dprofitable for ^edoctrine, for ^freproof, for correction, for ^ginstruction in ^hrighteousness:

 17 That the man of God may be ^aperfect, throughly furnished unto all ^bgood works.
