2 Timothy 3:12 in context

The verses around it, from 2 Timothy 3.

8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth. They are depraved in mind and disqualified from the faith.

9 But they will not advance much further. For just like Jannes and Jambres, their folly will be plain to everyone.

10 You, however, have observed my teaching, my conduct, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, my perseverance,

11 my persecutions, and the sufferings that came upon me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured! Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them.

12 Indeed, all who desire to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,

13 while evil men and imposters go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.

14 But as for you, continue in the things you have learned and firmly believed, since you know from whom you have learned them.

15 From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
