2 Timothy 3:1-17
3 "You may be quite sure that in the last days there are going to be some difficult times. People will be self-centered and grasping; boastful, arrogant, and rude; disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, irreligious, heartless and unappeasable; they will be sladerers, profligates, savages and enemies of everything that is good; they will be treacherous and reckless and demented by pride, preferrring their own pleasure to God. They will keep up the outward appearance of religion but will have rejected the inner power of it. Have nothing do with people like that.
Of the same kind, too, are those men who insinuate themelves into families in order to get influence over silly woman who are obsessed with their sins and follow one craze after another in the attempt to educate themselves, but can never come to knowledge of the truth. Men like this def the truth just as Jannes and Jambres defied Moses: their minds are corrpt and their faith spurious. But they will not be able to go on any longer: Their foolishness like that of the other two, must become obvious to everybody.
You know, though, what I have taught, how I have lived, what I have aimed at; you know my faith, my patience and my love; my constancy and the persecutions and hardships that come to me in places like Antioch, Iconium and Lystra - all the persecutions I have endured; and the Lord has rescued me from every one of them. You are well aware, then, that anybody who tries to live in dovtion to Christ is certain to be attacked; while these wicked impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving others and deceiving themselves.
You must keep to what you have been taught and know to be true; remember who your teachers were, and hwo ever since you were a child, you have known the holy scriptures - from these you can learn the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All scripture is inspired by God and can profitably be used for teaching, for refuiting error, for guiding people's lives and teachign them to be holy. This is how the man who is dedicated to God becomes fully equipped and ready for any good work."
