1Know also this, that, in the last days, shall come dangerous times.
1But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come.
2Men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, haughty, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked,
2For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3Without affection, without peace, slanderers, incontinent, unmerciful, without kindness,
3unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good,
4Traitors, stubborn, puffed up, and lovers of pleasures more than of God:
4traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5Having an appearance indeed of godliness, but denying the power thereof. Now these avoid.
5having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these!
6For of these sort are they who creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, who are led away with divers desires:
6They are the kind who worm their way into households and captivate vulnerable women who are weighed down with sins and led astray by various passions,
7Ever learning, and never attaining to the knowledge of the truth.
7who are always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.
8Now as Jannes and Mambres resisted Moses, so these also resist the truth, men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.
8Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth. They are depraved in mind and disqualified from the faith.
9But they shall proceed no farther; for their folly shall be manifest to all men, as theirs also was.
9But they will not advance much further. For just like Jannes and Jambres, their folly will be plain to everyone.
10But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,
10You, however, have observed my teaching, my conduct, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, my perseverance,
11Persecutions, 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.
11my persecutions, and the sufferings that came upon me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured! Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them.
12And all that will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution.
12Indeed, all who desire to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
13But evil men and seducers shall grow worse and worse: erring, and driving into error.
13while evil men and imposters go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14But continue thou in those things which thou hast learned, and which have been committed to thee: knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
14But as for you, continue in the things you have learned and firmly believed, since you know from whom you have learned them.
15And because from thy infancy thou hast known the holy scriptures, which can instruct thee to salvation, by the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
15From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
16All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice,
16All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
17That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work.
17so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.
