2 Timothy 3:9-17
New American Standard Bible
10Now you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, perseverance,
11persecutions, and sufferings, such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord rescued me!
12Indeed, all who want to live in a godly way in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
13But evil people and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them,
15and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16All Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness;
17so that the man or woman of God may be fully capable, equipped for every good work.
King James Version
10But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15And 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.
16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
Christian Standard Bible
10But you have followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, and endurance,
11along with the persecutions and sufferings that came to me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured--and yet the Lord rescued me from them all.
12In fact, all who want to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
13Evil people and impostors will become worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14But as for you, continue in what you have learned and firmly believed. You know those who taught you,
15and you know that from infancy you have known the sacred Scriptures, which are able to give you wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
16All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness,
17so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
New Living Translation
10But 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.
11You 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.
12Yes, and everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
13But evil people and impostors will flourish. They will deceive others and will themselves be deceived.
14But 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.
15You 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.
16All 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.
17God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

Chapter 3
9But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.
10You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness,
11my 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.
12Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
13while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it
15and 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.
16All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
17that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

10You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance,
11persecutions, 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.
12In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
13while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.

Chapter 3
9but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.
10But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance,
11persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra—what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
13But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
