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