3:1 Loss of standards in the end times
3 It’s important to know that dangerous times will be coming in the last days of this era. 2 People will become selfish, greedy for money, braggers, proud, slanderous, refusing to listen to sense from their parents, ungrateful, ungodly, 3 unloving, unwilling to reconcile, diabolical, angry, wild, and without morals. 4 They will be betrayers, reckless and conceited, loving pleasure instead of loving God, 5 appearing to be godly on the surface yet denying that God is real, and turning from the truth. 6 Some of these will quietly enter houses and captivate gullible women. Despite being known for their sins, they’re led by various lusts— 7 always ‘learning’ yet never actually confronting the reality of the truth. 8 This is just like how Jannes and Jambres opposed Mosheh,[ref] and similarly these people, having depraved minds and who are unqualified concerning the faith, oppose the truth. 9 But they won’t be advancing in the faith because their foolishness will eventually become evident to everyone, just as happened with Jannes and Jambres.
3:10 Living your faith even at a cost
10 However Timothy, you followed me in your teaching, your conduct, your purpose and your faith, in patience, love, endurance, 11 and even through persecution and suffering like I endured in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra[ref]—yet the master rescued me in each case. 12 Anyway, everyone who wants to seriously follow Yeshua the messiah should expect to be persecuted.
13 Meanwhile evil people and scammers will get worse and worse—deceiving others and then being deceived themselves. 14 Hold on to the things that you learnt and were convinced was true, because you know you can trust those who taught them to you. 15 You’ve known the sacred scriptures since you were a young child, and the wisdom contained in them is able to lead you to salvation through faith in Yeshua the messiah. 16 All scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, for scolding and correction, and for teaching discipline and obedience 17 so that the person following God can be trained in doing every kind of good deed.
