Lyrics
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall
come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters,
proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers,
incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers
of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from
such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead
captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the
truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also
resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the
faith.
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be
manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose,
faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all
the Lord delivered me.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer
persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving,
and being deceived.
14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast
been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15 And 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.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable
for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all
good works.1

Who was Timothy? |
|
Timothy,
from the
Greek name Timotheos (pronounced tee-moth-eh-us),
meaning honoring God, or dear to God, was a trustworthy
young disciple often closely associated with Paul.
 Timothy was from Lystra
(Acts 16:1) in Asia Minor, today in Turkey. His mother,
Eunice, and grandmother, Lois, were Jews, and were noted for
their sincere faithfulness to God (2 Timothy 1:5). Nothing
is written of his father, except that he was a Greek (Acts
16:1).
Timothy is first mentioned
during Paul's second visit to Lystra (Acts 16:1-2), where he
was apparently converted during Paul's earlier visit there
(1 Timothy 1:2, 2 Timothy 3:11). Paul certainly thought
highly of him, calling him "my true son in the faith" (1
Timothy 1:2).
After Timothy received his
calling as a servant (what the word minister literally
means) "through a direct prophetic message when the body of
elders laid their hands on you" (1 Timothy 4:14), he
journeyed with Paul through Phrygia, Galatia, and Mysia, as
well as Troas and Philippi and Berea (Acts 17:1-14). He
later joined Paul in Athens, and was sent by him with Silas
on a mission to Thessalonica (Acts 17:15, 1 Thessalonians
3:2), and later was with Paul at Corinth (1 Thessalonians
1:1, 2 Thessalonians 1:1), and later still at Ephesus (Acts
19:22), where he was sent to Macedonia. He accompanied Paul
afterwards to Asia (Acts 20:4).
After Paul was a prisoner
at
Rome, Timothy joined him (Philippians 1:1), where it
seems he may also have been imprisoned (Hebrews 13:23).
During Paul's second imprisonment, he wrote to Timothy and
asked him to bring his cloak and parchments that had been
left at Troas. (2 Timothy 4:13)
According to one tradition,
after Paul was killed, Timothy settled mainly in Ephesus,
where, after more years of faithful witness, he too was
martyred.2
