2 Timothy 3 - Revised Standard Version Old Tradition 1952(RSV-C)

1But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of stress.

2For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,

3inhuman, implacable, slanderers, profligates, fierce, haters of good,

4treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

5holding the form of religion but denying the power of it. Avoid such people.

6For among them are those who make their way into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and swayed by various impulses,

7who will listen to anybody and can never arrive at a knowledge of the truth.

8 profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,

17that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
