^{1 Ref} But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come.

^{2 Ref} For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

^{3 Ref} without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good,

^{4 Ref} traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

^{5 Ref} holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power therefore. From these also turn away.

^{6 Ref} For of these are they that creep into houses, and take captive silly women laden with sins, led away by divers lusts,

^{7 Ref} ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

^{8 Ref} And even as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth. Men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.

^{9 Ref} But they shall proceed no further. For their folly shall be evident unto all men, as theirs also came to be.

^{10 Ref} But thou didst follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,

^{11 Ref} persecutions, sufferings. What things befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me.

^{12 Ref} Yea, and all that would live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

^{13 Ref} But evil men and impostors shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

^{14 Ref} But abide thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them.

^{15 Ref} And that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

^{16 Ref} Every scripture inspired of God `is' also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness.

^{17 Ref} That the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.

^{1 Ref} And this know thou, that in the last days there shall come perilous times,

^{2 Ref} for men shall be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, evil-speakers, to parents disobedient, unthankful, unkind,

^{3 Ref} without natural affection, implacable, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, not lovers of those who are good,

^{4 Ref} traitors, heady, lofty, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God,

^{5 Ref} having a form of piety, and its power having denied; and from these be turning away,

^{6 Ref} for of these there are those coming into the houses and leading captive the silly women, laden with sins, led away with desires manifold,

^{7 Ref} always learning, and never to a knowledge of truth able to come,

^{8 Ref} and, even as Jannes and Jambres stood against Moses, so also these do stand against the truth, men corrupted in mind, disapproved concerning the faith;

^{9 Ref} but they shall not advance any further, for their folly shall be manifest to all, as theirs also did become.

^{10 Ref} And thou -- thou hast followed after my teaching, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, love, endurance,

^{11 Ref} the persecutions, the afflictions, that befel me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of all the Lord did deliver me,

^{12 Ref} and all also who will to live piously in Christ Jesus shall be persecuted,

^{13 Ref} and evil men and impostors shall advance to the worse, leading astray and being led astray.

^{14 Ref} And thou -- be remaining in the things which thou didst learn and wast entrusted with, having known from whom thou didst learn,

^{15 Ref} and because from a babe the Holy Writings thou hast known, which are able to make thee wise -- to salvation, through faith that `is' in Christ Jesus;

^{16 Ref} every Writing `is' God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction that `is' in righteousness,

^{17 Ref} that the man of God may be fitted -- for every good work having been completed.

^{1 Ref} This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

^{2 Ref} For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

^{3 Ref} Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

^{4 Ref} Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

^{5 Ref} Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

^{6 Ref} For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

^{7 Ref} Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

^{8 Ref} Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

^{9 Ref} But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.

^{10 Ref} But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

^{11 Ref} 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 Ref} Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

^{13 Ref} But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

^{14 Ref} But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

^{15 Ref} 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 Ref} All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

^{17 Ref} That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
