ESV

1	But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty.
2	For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3	heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good,
4	treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5	having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
6	For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions,
7	always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.
8	Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith.
9	But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.
10	You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness,
11	my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra- which persecutions I endured; yet from them all the Lord rescued me.
12	Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
13	while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14	But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it
15	and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
16	All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
17	that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.

NIV

1	But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.
2	People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3	without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,
4	treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God–
5	having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.
6	They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires,
7	always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth.
8	Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth–men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected.
9	But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.
10	You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance,
11	persecutions, sufferings–what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them.
12	In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
13	while evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14	But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,
15	and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
16	All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
17	so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

NLT

1	You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times.
2	For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred.
3	They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good.
4	They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God.
5	They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!
6	They are the kind who work their way into people's homes and win the confidence of vulnerable women who are burdened with the guilt of sin and controlled by various desires.
7	(Such women are forever following new teachings, but they are never able to understand the truth.)
8	These teachers oppose the truth just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses. They have depraved minds and a counterfeit faith.
9	But they won't get away with this for long. Someday everyone will recognize what fools they are, just as with Jannes and Jambres.
10	But you, Timothy, certainly know what I teach, and how I live, and what my purpose in life is. You know my faith, my patience, my love, and my endurance.
11	You know how much persecution and suffering I have endured. You know all about how I was persecuted in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra– but the Lord rescued me from all of it.
12	Yes, and everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
13	But evil people and impostors will flourish. They will deceive others and will themselves be deceived.
14	But you must remain faithful to the things you have been taught. You know they are true, for you know you can trust those who taught you.
15	You have been taught the holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus.
16	All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.
17	God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

KJV

1	This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2	For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3	Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4	Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5	Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6	For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7	Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8	Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9	But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
10	But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11	Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12	Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13	But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14	But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15	And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16	All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17	That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
