Text -- 2 Timothy 3:6-17 (NET)
![](images/arrow_open.gif)
Strongs On/Off
Context
3:6 For some of these insinuate themselves into households and captivate weak women who are overwhelmed with sins and led along by various passions .
3:7 Such women are always seeking instruction , yet never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth .
3:8 And just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses , so these people – who have warped minds and are disqualified in the faith – also oppose the truth .
3:9 But they will not go much further , for their foolishness will be obvious to everyone , just like it was with Jannes and Jambres .
Continue in What You Have Learned
3:10 You , however, have followed my teaching , my way of life , my purpose , my faith , my patience , my love , my endurance ,
3:11 as well as the persecutions and sufferings that happened to me in Antioch , in Iconium , and in Lystra . I endured these persecutions and the Lord delivered me from them all .
3:12 Now in fact all who want to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be persecuted .
3:13 But evil people and charlatans will go from bad to worse , deceiving others and being deceived themselves.
3:14 You , however, must continue in the things you have learned and are confident about. You know who taught you
3:15 and how from infancy you have known the holy writings , which are able to give you wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus .
3:16 Every scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching , for reproof , for correction , and for training in righteousness ,
3:17 that the person dedicated to God may be capable and equipped for every good work .
