Worse Perverse

From a letter written by the apostle Paul
 to Timothy: 

But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.-2 Timothy 3:10-17***The apostle Paul (Saul) was an Israelite from the tribe of Benjamin, descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and Rachel, and Jacob and Rachel's 2nd and last son Benjamin. In a divinely inspired letter Paul sent to believers in Corinth and its surrounding areas, Paul told of the sufferings he experienced. Moreover, Paul wrote about the good news of Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, who was  betrayed, arrested crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, and returned to heaven sometime before Paul believed Jesus to be the Christ. In a letter to Timothy (Timotheus), Paul wrote of persecutions and the lives of every believer.-Genesis 11:26-35:29, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 8:1-40, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, 6:1-8:4, 9:1-31, 11:19-28:31, 2 Corinthians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy 

 Reference Scriptures: 
He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.-Job 5:19

 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.-Psalm 34:19
