2 Timothy 3:1

CHAPTER III.

Dangerous times in the latter days, from the apostasy and

wickedness of men, of whom an affecting description is given,

1-7.

It shall happen to them as to Jannes and Jambres, who withstood

Moses, 8, 9.

The apostle speaks of his persecutions and sufferings, and shows

that all those who will live a godly life must suffer

persecution, 10-12,

because evil men and seducers will wax worse and worse, 13.

Timothy is exhorted to continue in the truths he had received,

having known the Scriptures from a child, 14, 15.

All Scripture is given by Divine inspiration, 16, 17.

NOTES ON CHAP. III.

Verse 2 Timothy 3:1. In the last days] This often means the days of the Messiah, and is sometimes extended in its signification to the destruction of Jerusalem, as this was properly the last days of the Jewish state. But the phrase may mean any future time, whether near or distant.
