10 Now you (A)followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, (B)love, [a]perseverance, 11 (C)persecutions, and (D)sufferings, such as happened to me at (E)Antioch, at (F)Iconium, and at (G)Lystra; what (H)persecutions I endured, and out of them all (I)the Lord rescued me! 12 Indeed, all who want to live in a godly way in Christ Jesus (J)will be persecuted. 13 But evil people and impostors (K)will proceed from bad to worse, (L)deceiving and being deceived. 14 You, however, (M)continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15 and that (N)from childhood you have known (O)the sacred writings which are able to (P)give you the wisdom that leads to (Q)salvation through faith which is in (R)Christ Jesus. 16 (S)All Scripture is [b]inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for [c]rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17 so that (T)the man or woman of God may be [d]fully capable, (U)equipped for every good work.
