2 Timothy 3:10-13 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

10 Now you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, [a]perseverance, 11 persecutions, and sufferings, such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord rescued me! 12 Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. 13 But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
