2 Timothy 3 warns that the last days will be marked by widespread ungodliness—people loving themselves and pleasure rather than God, while only maintaining an outward form of religion. Paul contrasts this corruption with Timothy’s calling: to follow his example of faith, endurance, and suffering for Christ. The chapter closes with the reminder that all Scripture is God-breathed, profitable for teaching, correction, and training, fully equipping the servant of God for every good work.

In 2 Timothy 2:1-13, Paul urges Timothy to be strong in Christ’s grace, faithfully teach others, and endure hardship like a soldier, athlete, or farmer. He emphasizes perseverance in sharing the gospel, noting that God’s word remains unchained despite suffering. Paul highlights the promise of eternal glory for those who endure, underscoring God’s faithfulness even when we are faithless.
