Read in context

2 Timothy 3:11–15 · Berean Standard Bible

11 my persecutions, and the sufferings that came upon me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured! Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them.

12 Indeed, all who desire to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,

13 while evil men and imposters go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.

14 But as for you, continue in the things you have learned and firmly believed, since you know from whom you have learned them.

15 From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
