About 2 Timothy 3"In the last days perilous times shall come," when men will be "lovers of their own selves" and "lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof." Timothy has known Paul's doctrine and persecutions, and "all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." He is to continue in what he has learned, for "All scripture is given by inspiration of God," to make "the man of God... perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works." 2 Timothy 3:12 Timothy 3:22 Timothy 3:42 Timothy 3:52 Timothy 3:102 Timothy 3:112 Timothy 3:122 Timothy 3:142 Timothy 3:162 Timothy 3:172 Timothy overview
