Godlessness
In The Last Days
BUT
MARK THIS:
THERE
WILL BE TERRIBLE TIMES IN THE LAST DAYS.
2
People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money,
Boastful,
Proud, Abusive, Disobedient to their parents,
Ungrateful,
Unholy,
3
Without love, Unforgiving, Slanderous
Without
Self-control, Brutal,
Not
lovers of the Good,
4
Treacherous, Rash, Conceited,
Lovers
of Pleasure rather than lovers of God--
5
HAVING A FORM OF GODLINESS BUT DENYING ITS POWER.
HAVE
NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM.
6
They are the kind who Worm their way into homes
And
Gain Control over Weak-willed women,
Who
are Loaded down with Sins
And
are Swayed by all kinds of Evil desires,
7
ALWAYS LEARNING
BUT
NEVER ABLE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE TRUTH.
8
Just as Jannes and Jambres Opposed Moses,
So
also these men Oppose the Truth--
Men
of Depraved Minds,
Who,
as far as the Faith is concerned, are Rejected.
9
But they will not get very far
Because,
as in the case of those men,
THEIR
FOLLY WILL BE CLEAR TO EVERYONE.
Paul's
Charge To Timothy
10
You, however, know all about my Teaching,
My
Way of Life, my Purpose, Faith, Patience, Love,
Endurance,
Persecutions, Sufferings--
What
kinds of things happened to me
In
Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra,
The
Persecutions I Endured.
YET
THE LORD RESCUED ME FROM ALL OF THEM.
12
IN FACT EVERYONE
WHO
WANTS TO LIVE A GODLY LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS
WILL
BE PERSECUTED,
13
WHILE EVIL MEN AND IMPOSTORS
WILL
GO FROM BAD TO WORSE,
DECEIVING
AND BEING DECEIVED.
14
But as for you,
Continue
in what you have learned
And
have become Convinced of,
Because
you kn ow those from whom you learned it,
15
And how from Infancy you have know the Holy Scriptures,
WHICH
ARE ABLE TO MAKE YOU WISE FOR SALVATION
THROUGH
FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS.
16
ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD-BREATHED
AND
IS USEFUL FOR TEACHING, REBUKING, CORRECTING
AND
TRAINING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS,
17
SO THAT THE MAN OF GOD
MAY
BE EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK.
(2
Timothy 3)
