¹ But know this, that in the last days grievous times will come.² For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, arrogant, proud, evil-speakers,³ disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, Without natural affection, covenant-breakers, slanderers, intemperate, fierce, despisers of good men,⁴ Traitors, rash, puffed up, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God;⁵ Having a form of godliness but denying the power of it.⁶ From these also turn away. For of these are they who creep into houses, and captivate silly women laden with sins, led away by various desires,⁷ Ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.⁸ Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth: men of corrupt minds, void of judgment as to the faith.⁹ But they shall proceed no farther; for their folly shall be manifest to all men, as theirs also was.

¹⁰ But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, intention, faith, long-suffering, love, patience,¹¹ Persecutions, afflictions, which befel me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured; but the Lord delivered me out of all.¹² Yea and all that are resolved to live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution.¹³ But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.¹⁴ But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned, and been fully assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them,¹⁵ And that from an infant thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, thro' faith which is in Christ Jesus.¹⁶ All scripture is inspired of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness;¹⁷ That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
