          DASV: 2 Timothy 3

1 But know this, that in the last days distressing times will
come.
2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money,
boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to parents, ungrateful,
unholy,
3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control,
savage, not lovers of good,
4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather
than lovers of God.
5 They maintain an outward form of godliness, but have denied
its power. Avoid these kind of people.
6 For these are the kind that creep into houses, and take
captive vulnerable women overwhelmed with sins, led astray
by all kinds of passions.
7 Such women are always following some new teaching but never
able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Just as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these men
also withstand the truth. They have warped minds and are
disqualified concerning the faith.
9 But they will proceed no further. For their folly will be
obvious to everyone, just like it was for those two men.
10 But you have followed my teaching, my way of life, my purpose,
faith, longsuffering, love, patience,
11 persecutions, sufferings, that happened to me at Antioch,
Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured. And the Lord
delivered me from them all.
12 Yes, and all who would live godly in Christ Jesus will
suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse,
deceiving others and being deceived themselves.
14 But as for you, continue in the things which you have
learned and are convinced of, knowing from whom you learned
them.
15 And that from early childhood have known the Scriptures
which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith
in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching,
for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness.
17 So that the man of God may be competent, completely
equipped for every good work.
