1But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:1You must realize, however, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,2People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,3unfeeling, uncooperative, slanderous, degenerate, brutal, hateful of what is good,
4traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,4traitors, reckless, conceited, and lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.
5having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!5They will hold to an outward form of godliness but deny its power. Stay away from such people.
6For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,6For some of these men go into homes and deceive foolish women who are burdened with sins and swayed by all kinds of desires.
7always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.7These women are always studying but are never able to arrive at a full knowledge of the truth.
8Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith;8Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men oppose the truth. They are depraved in mind and their faith is a counterfeit.
9but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.9But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those two men, their stupidity will be plain to everyone.
10But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance,10But you have observed my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, my endurance,
11persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra—what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me.11and how I was persecuted and suffered in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured! Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them.
12Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.12Indeed, all who want to live a godly life in union with the Messiah Jesus will be persecuted.
13But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.13But evil people and impostors will go from bad to worse as they deceive others and are themselves deceived.
14But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them,14But as for you, continue in what you have learned and found to be true, because you know from whom you learned it.
15and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.15From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures that are able to give you the wisdom you need for salvation through faith in the Messiah Jesus.
16All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,16All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
17that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.17so that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good action.
