³⁸ But if any man is ignorant, let him be ignorant.

¹⁷ Ephraim is joined to idols; let him alone.

⁶ Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before the swine, lest haply they trample them under their feet, and turn and rend you.

¹⁴ Let them alone: they are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into a pit.

³ If any man teacheth a different doctrine, and consenteth not to sound words, `even' the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

⁴ he is puffed up, knowing nothing, but doting about questionings and disputes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

⁵ wranglings of men corrupted in mind and bereft of the truth, supposing that godliness is a way of gain.

³ For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts;

⁴ and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside unto fables.

¹¹ He that is unrighteous, let him do unrighteousness still: and he that is filthy, let him be made filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him do righteousness still: and he that is holy, let him be made holy still.

¹² Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to render to each man according as his work is.
