| # Chapter 3
#### 1 | Know also this, that, in the last days, shall come dangerous times.
#### 2 | Men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, haughty, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked,
#### 3 | Without affection, without peace, slanderers, incontinent, unmerciful, without kindness,
#### 4 | Traitors, stubborn, puffed up, and lovers of pleasures more than of God:
#### 5 | Having an appearance indeed of godliness, but denying the power thereof. Now these avoid.
#### 6 | 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:
#### 7 | Ever learning, and never attaining to the knowledge of the truth.
#### 8 | Now as Jannes and Mambres resisted Moses, so these also resist the truth, men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.
#### 9 | But they shall proceed no farther; for their folly shall be manifest to all men, as theirs also was.
#### 10 | But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,
#### 11 | 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.
#### 12 | And all that will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution.
#### 13 | But evil men and seducers shall grow worse and worse: erring, and driving into error.
#### 14 | But continue thou in those things which thou hast learned, and which have been committed to thee: knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
#### 15 | 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.
#### 16 | All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice,
#### 17 | That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work.
