2 Timothy 3

Paul warns younger Timothy about the dangers that will face him as he continues in ministry. Men are not naturally eager to hear how wicked they are compared to God's holiness; their wickedness will continue to grow as they become more and more depraved - even seeking to drag others with them in their follies. Timothy, however, has learned the way of Truth and seen the difference it made in Paul's life and ministry. He is encouraged to follow that example, an example that sets a high priority and value on the sufficiency of Scripture. God's Word is vital; solely responsible for transforming and completing a man.
