00:00:23.140 --> 00:00:26.449
The Second Epistle of Paul to Timothy, Chapter 3.
00:00:26.449 --> 00:00:28.847
Here is what I want you to know.
00:00:28.847 --> 00:00:31.687
There will be terrible times in the last days.
00:00:31.687 --> 00:00:34.087
People will love themselves.
00:00:34.087 --> 00:00:35.905
They will love money.
00:00:35.905 --> 00:00:38.087
They will brag and be proud.
00:00:38.087 --> 00:00:40.347
They will tear others down.
00:00:40.347 --> 00:00:42.546
They will not obey their parents.
00:00:42.546 --> 00:00:45.085
They won't be thankful or holy.
00:00:45.085 --> 00:00:47.030
They won't love others.
00:00:47.030 --> 00:00:49.042
They won't forgive others.
00:00:49.042 --> 00:00:51.347
They will tell lies about people.
00:00:51.347 --> 00:00:53.332
They will be out of control.
00:00:53.332 --> 00:00:55.243
They will be wild.
00:00:55.243 --> 00:00:57.210
They will hate what is good.
00:00:57.210 --> 00:00:59.576
They will turn against their friends.
00:00:59.576 --> 00:01:01.680
They will act without thinking.
00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:04.682
They will think they are better than others.
00:01:04.682 --> 00:01:08.623
They will love what pleases them instead of loving God.
00:01:08.623 --> 00:01:11.986
They will act as if they were serving God.
00:01:11.986 --> 00:01:16.929
But what they do will show that they have turned their backs on God's power.
00:01:17.709 --> 00:01:19.710
Have nothing to do with these people.
00:01:19.710 --> 00:01:24.173
They are the kind to trick their way into the homes of some women.
00:01:24.173 --> 00:01:30.256
These women are ready to believe anything and they take control over these women.
00:01:30.256 --> 00:01:32.998
These women are loaded down with sins.
00:01:32.998 --> 00:01:41.500
They give in to all kinds of evil desires.
00:01:41.500 --> 00:01:45.462
They are always learning, but they are never able to come to know the truth.
00:01:45.481 --> 00:01:47.623
Janes and Jambres opposed Moses.
00:01:47.623 --> 00:01:52.328
In the same way, the teachers I'm talking about opposed the truth.
00:01:52.328 --> 00:01:57.075
Their minds are twisted as far as the faith is concerned.
00:01:57.075 --> 00:01:58.436
God doesn't accept them.
00:01:58.436 --> 00:02:01.159
They won't get very far.
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:07.805
Just like Janes and Jambres, their foolish ways will be clear to everyone.
00:02:07.885 --> 00:02:09.887
You know that I was treated badly.
00:02:09.887 --> 00:02:11.687
You know that I suffered greatly.
00:02:11.687 --> 00:02:31.793
You know what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, iconium and Lystra.
00:02:31.793 --> 00:02:38.348
You know how badly I have been treated, but the Lord saved me from all my troubles.
00:02:38.348 --> 00:02:46.894
In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be treated badly.
00:02:46.894 --> 00:02:52.151
Evil people and pretenders will go from bad to worse.
00:02:52.151 --> 00:02:55.990
They will fool others and others will fool them.
00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:01.111
But I want you to continue to follow what you have learned and are sure about.
00:03:01.111 --> 00:03:07.379
You know the people you learned it from and are sure about you know the people you learned it from.
00:03:07.379 --> 00:03:10.068
You have known the Holy Scriptures ever since you were a little child.
00:03:10.068 --> 00:03:15.768
They are able to teach you how to be saved by believing in Christ Jesus.
00:03:15.768 --> 00:03:19.990
God has breathed life into all Scripture.
00:03:19.990 --> 00:03:23.568
It is useful for teaching us what is true.
00:03:23.568 --> 00:03:25.792
It is useful for teaching us what is true.
00:03:25.792 --> 00:03:26.819
It is useful for correcting our mistakes.
00:03:26.819 --> 00:03:30.330
It is useful for making our lives whole again.
00:03:30.330 --> 00:03:34.491
It is useful for training us to do what is right.
00:03:34.491 --> 00:03:43.743
By using scripture, the servant of God can be completely prepared to do every good thing.
