Second Letter to Timothy

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

Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so do these also oppose the truth; men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.

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

But you did follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness,

persecutions, and sufferings: those things that happened to me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I endured those persecutions. Out of them all the Lord delivered me.

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