2 Timothy 3:12-4:5 GW Those who try to live a godly life because they believe in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. (13) But evil people and phony preachers will go from bad to worse as they mislead people and are themselves misled. (14) However, continue in what you have learned and found to be true. You know who your teachers were. (15) From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures. They have the power to give you wisdom so that you can be saved through faith in Christ Jesus. (16) Every Scripture passage is inspired by God. All of them are useful for teaching, pointing out errors, correcting people, and training them for a life that has God's approval. (17) They equip God's servants so that they are completely prepared to do good things.
2 Timothy 4:1-5 GW I solemnly call on you in the presence of God and Christ Jesus, who is going to judge those who are living and those who are dead. I do this because Christ Jesus will come to rule the world. (2) Be ready to spread the word whether or not the time is right. Point out errors, warn people, and encourage them. Be very patient when you teach. (3) A time will come when people will not listen to accurate teachings. Instead, they will follow their own desires and surround themselves with teachers who tell them what they want to hear. (4) People will refuse to listen to the truth and turn to myths. (5) But you must keep a clear head in everything. Endure suffering. Do the work of a missionary. Devote yourself completely to your work.
2 Timothy 3:12-4:5 GNB Everyone who wants to live a godly life in union with Christ Jesus will be persecuted; (13) and evil persons and impostors will keep on going from bad to worse, deceiving others and being deceived themselves. (14) But as for you, continue in the truths that you were taught and firmly believe. You know who your teachers were, (15) and you remember that ever since you were a child, you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. (16) All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching the truth, rebuking error, correcting faults, and giving instruction for right living, (17) so that the person who serves God may be fully qualified and equipped to do every kind of good deed.
2 Timothy 4:1-5 GNB In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and because he is coming to rule as King, I solemnly urge you (2) to preach the message, to insist upon proclaiming it (whether the time is right or not), to convince, reproach, and encourage, as you teach with all patience. (3) The time will come when people will not listen to sound doctrine, but will follow their own desires and will collect for themselves more and more teachers who will tell them what they are itching to hear. (4) They will turn away from listening to the truth and give their attention to legends. (5) But you must keep control of yourself in all circumstances; endure suffering, do the work of a preacher of the Good News, and perform your whole duty as a servant of God.
2 Timothy 3:12-4:5 ESV 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.
2 Timothy 4:1-5 ESV I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: (2) preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. (3) For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, (4) and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. (5) As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
2 Timothy 3:12-4:5 LITV And, indeed, all desiring to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. (13) But evil men and pretenders will go forward to worse, leading astray and being led astray. (14) But you keep on in what you learned and were assured of, knowing from whom you learned, (15) and that from a babe you know the Holy Scriptures, those being able to make you wise to salvation through belief in Christ Jesus. (16) All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, (17) so that the man of God may be perfected, being fully furnished for every good work.
2 Timothy 4:1-5 LITV Then I solemnly witness before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, He being about to judge the living and dead at His appearance and His kingdom: (2) preach the Word, be urgent in season, out of season, convict, warn, encourage with all long-suffering and teaching. (3) For a time will be when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own lusts, they will heap up to themselves teachers tickling the ear; (4) and they will turn away the ear from the truth and will be turned aside to myths. (5) But you be clear-minded in all, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fully carry out your ministry.
