The Last Days
3 1Remember this! There will be many troubles in the last days. 2In those times
people will love only themselves and money. They will be boastful and proud. People
will say bad things against other people. People will not obey their parents. People
will not be thankful. They will not be the kind of people God wants. 3People will
not have love for other people. They will refuse to forgive other people, and they
will speak bad things. People will not control themselves. They will be angry and
mean and will hate things that are good. 4In the last days people will turn against
their friends. They will do foolish things without thinking. They will be conceited
and proud. People will love pleasure--they will not love God. 5Those people will
continue to act like they serve God. But the way they live shows that they don't
really serve God. Timothy, stay away from those people. 6Some of those people go
into homes and get women who are weak. Those women are full of sin. Those women
are led to sin by the many evil things they want to do. 7Those women always try
to learn [new teachings], but they are never able to fully understand the truth.
8Remember Jannes and Jambres.* They were against Moses.* It is the same with these
people. They are against the truth. They are people whose thinking has been confused.
They have failed in trying to follow the faith. 9But they will not be successful
in the things they do. All the people will see that they are foolish. That is what
happened to Jannes and Jambres.

Last Instructions
10But you know all about me. You know what I teach and the way I live. You know
my goal in life. You know my faith, my patience, and my love. You know that I never
stop trying. 11You know about my persecutions (troubles) and my sufferings. You
know all the things that happened to me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. You know
the persecutions I suffered in those places. But the Lord saved me from all those
troubles. 12Every person who wants to live the way God wants, in Christ Jesus, will
be persecuted. 13People who are evil and cheat other people will become worse and
worse. They will fool other people, but they will also be fooling themselves. 14But
you should continue following the teachings you learned. You know that those teachings
are true. You know you can trust the people who taught you those things. 15You have
known the Holy Scriptures* since you were a child. Those Scriptures are able to
make you wise. And that wisdom leads to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
16All Scripture is given by God. And all Scripture is useful for teaching and for
showing people the things that are wrong in their lives. It is useful for correcting
faults and teaching how to live right. 17Using the Scriptures, the person who serves
God will be ready and will have everything he needs to do every good work.

Footnotes: Jannes and Jambres Probably the magicians that opposed Moses in Pharaoh's
court. See Ex. 7:11-12, 22. Moses One of the most important leaders of the Jewish
people during the time of the Old Testament. HolyScriptures Writings that Jews and
Christians accepted to be from God--the Old Testament.
