Counterfeit Reality

1 But realize this, that (A) in the last days difficult times will come.

2 For men will be (B) lovers of self, (C) lovers of money, (D) boastful, (E) arrogant, (F) revilers, (G) disobedient to parents, (H) ungrateful, (I) unholy, 3 (J) unloving, irreconcilable, (K) malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, (L) haters of good, 4 (M) treacherous, (N) reckless, (O) conceited, (P) lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 holding to a form of (Q) godliness, although they have (R) denied its power; (S) avoid such men as these....

12 Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus (A) will be persecuted.

13 But evil men and impostors (B) will proceed from bad to worse, (C) deceiving and being deceived.

14 You, however, (D) continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15 and that (E) from childhood you have known (F) the sacred writings which are able to (G) give you the wisdom that leads to (H) salvation through faith which is in (I) Christ Jesus.

16 (J) All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17 so that (K) the man of God may be adequate, (L) equipped for every good work.

-II Timothy 3:1-5,12-17
