Read and Think
Paul writes: But know this: that in the last days, grievous times will come. Many will love themselves and money. They will boast and be unthankful. They will love pleasure more than God. They will look godly but deny God's power. Paul tells Timothy to turn away from such people.
But Timothy has followed Paul's teaching and way of life. He has seen Paul's faith, patience, and love. He knows what Paul suffered at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra, and how the Lord rescued him every time. Paul says all who want to live for Jesus will face hard times.
Paul tells Timothy to hold on to what he learned. He knows who taught him. From infancy, Timothy has known the holy Scriptures, which can make him wise to be saved by trusting Christ Jesus. Paul explains that every Scripture is God-breathed. It is useful for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in what is right. So God's people are ready for every good work.
