Saint Timothy - Hold fast, persist in the truth
Saint Timothy - Hold fast, persist in the truth
Second Epistle of Saint Paul to Timothy - Chapter 3
1. You must also know this: that in the latter days dangerous times will come.
2. Because there will be men, lovers of themselves, covetous, haughty and full of vainglory; proud, blasphemers, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, impious,
3. with no natural affection, implacable, calumniators, intemperant, cruel, loathers of all that is good,
4. traitors, impetuous, infatuated, lovers more of pleasures than of God,
5. who will carry the apperance of piety, but will deny the efficacy of being pious; these, avoid.
6. Because those of this sort are the ones who insert themselves into houses and they take captive young women loaded with sins, dragged away by diverse concupiscences.
7. These young women are always learning, and they can never come to the knowledge of the truth.
8. And in the way that Jannes and Mambres resisted Moses, so these also resist the truth; men who are corrupt in there understanding, reprobates with regard to the faith.
9. Moreover they will not advance any more; because their insensitivity stupidity will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.
10. But you have followed my doctrine, conduct, purpose, faith, forbearance, magnanimity, love, patience,
11. persecutions, sufferings, like those that came over me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra; all persecutions I have suffered, and the Lord has freed me from them all.
12. And also, all those who want to live piously in Christ Jesus, will suffer persecution.
13. Moreover, the evil men and deceivers will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14. But you, persist in what you have learned and convinced yourself of, knowing from whom you have learned;
15. and that since your childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which can make you wise for salvation by the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16. All Scripture is inspired by God, and useful to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice,
17. with the end that the man of God be perfect, entirely prepared for all good work.
