1750 Challoner Revision of the Douay-Rheims (DR)
2 Timothy 3
1 He advertiseth him of the times to come, 6 describeth the enemies of the truth, 10 propoundeth unto him his own example, 16 and commendeth the holy Scriptures.
3:1 ¶
Know also this, that in the last days shall come dangerous times.
3:2
Men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, haughty, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked,
3:3
Without affection, without peace, slanderers, incontinent, unmerciful, without kindness,
3:4
Traitors, stubborn, puffed up, and lovers of pleasure more than of God:
3:5
Having an appearance indeed of godliness but denying the power thereof. Now these avoid.
3:6
For of these sort are they who creep into houses and lead captive silly women laden with sins, who are led away with divers desires:
3:7
Ever learning, and never attaining to the knowledge of the truth.
3:8
Now as Jannes and Mambres resisted Moses, so these also resist the truth, men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.
3:9
But they shall proceed no farther: for their folly shall be manifest to all men, as theirs also was.
3:10
But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,
3:11
Persecutions, afflictions: such as came upon me at Antioch, at Iconium and at Lystra: what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord delivered me.
3:12
And all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
3:13
But evil men and seducers shall grow worse and worse: erring, and driving into error,
3:14
But continue thou in those things which thou hast learned and which have been committed to thee. Knowing of whom thou hast learned them:
3:15
And because from thy infancy thou hast known the holy scriptures which can instruct thee to salvation by the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
3:16
All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice:
3:17
That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work.
