2 Timothy 3:4 Cross References - Wesley

⁴ Traitors, rash, puffed up, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God;

²⁰ Well; they were broken off for unbelief, and thou standest by faith.

¹⁸ (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, ¹⁹ whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame;

¹⁸ For such serve not the Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by good words and fair speeches, deceive the hearts of the simple.

⁶ Not a new convert, left being puffed up, he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

⁶ But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.

¹⁷ Charge the rich in this world not to be high-minded, neither to trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy:

¹⁰ But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise government: presumptuous, self-willed; they are not afraid to rail at dignities: ¹¹ Whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, bring not a railing accusation against them before the Lord. ¹² But these, as natural brute beasts, born to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things they understand not, and shall perish in their own corruption, ¹³ Receiving the reward of unrighteousness. They count it pleasure to riot in the day time; spots and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings, while they feast with you, ¹⁴ Having eyes full of adultery, and that cease not from sin; beguiling unstable souls, having hearts exercised with covetousness, accursed children: ¹⁵ Who have forsaken the right way and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam, the son of Boser, who loved the reward of unrighteousness. ¹⁶ But he had a rebuke for his iniquity: the dumb ass, speaking with man's voice, forbad the madness of the prophet. ¹⁷ These are wells without water, clouds driven by a tempest, to whom the blackness of darkness is reserved for ever. ¹⁸ For by speaking swelling words of vanity, they allure thro' the desire of the flesh, thro' wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them that live in error. ¹⁹ While they promise them liberty, themselves are the slaves of corruption; for by whom a man is overcome, by him he is also brought into slavery. ²⁰ For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world, thro the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again intangled therein and overcome, their last state is worse then the first. ²¹ For it had been better for them, not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. ²² But it has befallen them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit, and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

⁴ For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were of old described before with regard to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

⁸ In like manner these dreamers also defile the flesh, despise authority, rail at dignities. ⁹ Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil, he disputed concerning the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

¹⁹ These are they who separate themselves, sensual, not having the Spirit.
