11My punishments and pain; the things which came to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; the cruel attacks made on me: and the Lord made me free from them all.
12Yes, and all whose purpose is to be living in the knowledge of God in Christ Jesus, will be cruelly attacked.
13Evil and false men will become worse and worse, using deceit and themselves overcome by deceit.
14But see that you keep to the teaching you have been given and the things of which you are certain, conscious of who has been your teacher;
15And that from the time when you were a child, you have had knowledge of the holy Writings, which are able to make you wise to salvation, through faith in Christ Jesus.
16Every holy Writing which comes from God is of profit for teaching, for training, for guiding, for education in righteousness:
17So that the man of God may be complete, trained and made ready for every good work.
