This know
also, that in the last days perilous times shall
come.
02 For men shall be lovers of their own selves,
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers,
disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
03 Without natural affection, trucebreakers,
false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of
those that are good,
04 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of
pleasures more than lovers of God;
05 Having a form of godliness, but denying the
power thereof: from such turn away.
06 For of this sort are they which creep into
houses, and lead captive silly women laden with
sins, led away with divers lusts,
07 Ever learning, and never able to come to the
knowledge of the truth.
08 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so
do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt
minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
09 But they shall proceed no further: for their
folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's
also was.

10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner
of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity,
patience,
11 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.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ
Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and
worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue thou in the things which thou
hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of
whom thou hast learned them;
15 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.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration 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.
