King James BibleInternational Standard Version
1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.1You must realize, however, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,2People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,3unfeeling, uncooperative, slanderous, degenerate, brutal, hateful of what is good,
4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;4traitors, reckless, conceited, and lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.
5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.5They will hold to an outward form of godliness but deny its power. Stay away from such people.
6For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,6For some of these men go into homes and deceive foolish women who are burdened with sins and swayed by all kinds of desires.
7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.7These women are always studying but are never able to arrive at a full knowledge of the truth.
8Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.8Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men oppose the truth. They are depraved in mind and their faith is a counterfeit.
9But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.9But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those two men, their stupidity will be plain to everyone.
10But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,10But you have observed my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, my endurance,
11Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.11and how I was persecuted and suffered in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured! Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them.
12Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.12Indeed, all who want to live a godly life in union with the Messiah Jesus will be persecuted.
13But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.13But evil people and impostors will go from bad to worse as they deceive others and are themselves deceived.
14But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;14But as for you, continue in what you have learned and found to be true, because you know from whom you learned it.
15And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.15From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures that are able to give you the wisdom you need for salvation through faith in the Messiah Jesus.
16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:16All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
17That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.17so that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good action.
