2 Timothy 3-4

2 Timothy Chapter 3

¹But know this: that in the last days, grievous times will come. ²For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, ³without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, not lovers of good, ⁴traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, ⁵holding a form of godliness but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also. ⁶For some of these are people who creep into houses and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, ⁷always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. ⁸Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind, who concerning the faith are rejected. ⁹But they will proceed no further. For their folly will be evident to all men, as theirs also came to be. ¹⁰But you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness, ¹¹persecutions, and sufferings—those things that happened to me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I endured those persecutions. The Lord delivered me out of them all. ¹²Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. ¹³But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. ¹⁴But you remain in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them. ¹⁵From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁶Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, ¹⁷that each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

1: But know this: that in the last days, grievous times will come.

2: For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3: without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, not lovers of good,

4: traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

5: holding a form of godliness but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also.

6: For some of these are people who creep into houses and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,

7: always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

8: Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind, who concerning the faith are rejected.

9: But they will proceed no further. For their folly will be evident to all men, as theirs also came to be.

10: But you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness,

11: persecutions, and sufferings—those things that happened to me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I endured those persecutions. The Lord delivered me out of them all.

12: Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

13: But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

14: But you remain in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them.

15: From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16: Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,

17: that each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy Chapter 4

¹I command you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom: ²preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all patience and teaching. ³For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts, ⁴and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn away to fables. ⁵But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry. ⁶For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come. ⁷I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith. ⁸From now on, the crown of righteousness is stored up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing. ⁹Be diligent to come to me soon, ¹⁰for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia; and Titus to Dalmatia. ¹¹Only Luke is with me. Take Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service. ¹²But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus. ¹³Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come—and the books, especially the parchments. ¹⁴Alexander the coppersmith did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds. ¹⁵Beware of him, for he greatly opposed our words. ¹⁶At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against them. ¹⁷But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear. So I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. ¹⁸And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. ¹⁹Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus. ²⁰Erastus remained at Corinth, but I left Trophimus at Miletus sick. ²¹Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers. ²²The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

1: I command you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom:

2: preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all patience and teaching.

3: For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts,

4: and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn away to fables.

5: But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.

6: For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.

7: I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.

8: From now on, the crown of righteousness is stored up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

9: Be diligent to come to me soon,

10: for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia; and Titus to Dalmatia.

11: Only Luke is with me. Take Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.

12: But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.

13: Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come—and the books, especially the parchments.

14: Alexander the coppersmith did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds.

15: Beware of him, for he greatly opposed our words.

16: At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against them.

17: But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear. So I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

18: And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

19: Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.

20: Erastus remained at Corinth, but I left Trophimus at Miletus sick.

21: Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.

22: The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

Titus 1-3

Titus Chapter 1

¹Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness, ²in hope of eternal life, which God, who can’t lie, promised before time began; ³but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior, ⁴to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior. ⁵I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in order the things that were lacking and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you— ⁶if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior. ⁷For the overseer must be blameless, as God’s steward, not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain; ⁸but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy, self-controlled, ⁹holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him. ¹⁰For there are also many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, ¹¹whose mouths must be stopped: men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain’s sake. ¹²One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons.” ¹³This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, ¹⁴not paying attention to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn away from the truth. ¹⁵To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. ¹⁶They profess that they know God, but by their deeds they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.

1: Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

2: in hope of eternal life, which God, who can’t lie, promised before time began;

3: but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior,

4: to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.

5: I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in order the things that were lacking and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you—

6: if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.

7: For the overseer must be blameless, as God’s steward, not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;

8: but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy, self-controlled,

9: holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.

10: For there are also many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,

11: whose mouths must be stopped: men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain’s sake.

12: One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons.”

13: This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,

14: not paying attention to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.

15: To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.

16: They profess that they know God, but by their deeds they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.

Titus Chapter 2

¹But say the things which fit sound doctrine, ²that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in perseverance, ³and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good, ⁴that they may train the young wives to love their husbands, to love their children, ⁵to be sober minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God’s word may not be blasphemed. ⁶Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded. ⁷In all things show yourself an example of good works. In your teaching, show integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility, ⁸and soundness of speech that can’t be condemned, that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us. ⁹Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters and to be well-pleasing in all things, not contradicting, ¹⁰not stealing, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things. ¹¹For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, ¹²instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age; ¹³looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, ¹⁴who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works. ¹⁵Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.

10: not stealing, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.

11: For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

12: instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age;

13: looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,

14: who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

15: Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.

Titus Chapter 3

¹Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, ²to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all humility toward all men. ³For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. ⁴But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared, ⁵not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, ⁶whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior; ⁷that being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. ⁸This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you insist confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men; ⁹but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. ¹⁰Avoid a factious man after a first and second warning, ¹¹knowing that such a one is perverted and sinful, being self-condemned. ¹²When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there. ¹³Send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey speedily, that nothing may be lacking for them. ¹⁴Let our people also learn to maintain good works to meet necessary needs, that they may not be unfruitful. ¹⁵All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.

1: Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,

2: to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all humility toward all men.

3: For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

4: But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared,

5: not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

6: whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior;

7: that being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

8: This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you insist confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men;

9: but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

10: Avoid a factious man after a first and second warning,

11: knowing that such a one is perverted and sinful, being self-condemned.

12: When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.

13: Send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey speedily, that nothing may be lacking for them.

14: Let our people also learn to maintain good works to meet necessary needs, that they may not be unfruitful.

15: All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
