Paul’s Example and Teaching.^* 10You have followed my teaching, way of life, purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, 11persecutions, and sufferings, such as happened to me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra, persecutions that I endured. Yet from all these things the Lord delivered me.^g 12In fact, all who want to live religiously in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.^h 13But wicked people and charlatans will go from bad to worse, deceivers and deceived. 14But you, remain faithful to what you have learned and believed, because you know from whom you learned it,ⁱ 15and that from infancy you have known [the] sacred scriptures, which are capable of giving you wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.^j 16^* All scripture^k is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness,^* 17so that one who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every good work.^l
