³⁸ But if any man is without knowledge, let him be so.

¹⁷ Ephraim is joined to false gods; let him be.

⁶ Do not give that which is holy to the dogs, or put your jewels before pigs, for fear that they will be crushed under foot by the pigs whose attack will then be made against you.

¹⁴ Let them be: they are blind guides. And if a blind man is guiding a blind man, the two will go falling into a hole together.

³ If any man gives different teaching, not in agreement with the true words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the teaching which is in agreement with true religion,

⁴ He has an over-high opinion of himself; being without knowledge, having only an unhealthy love of questionings and wars of words, from which come envy, fighting, cruel words, evil thoughts,

⁵ Bitter talk of men who, being evil in mind and dead to what is true, take the faith to be a way of making profit.

³ For the time will come when they will not take the true teaching; but, moved by their desires, they will get for themselves a great number of teachers for the pleasure of hearing them;

⁴ And shutting their ears to what is true, will be turned away to belief in foolish stories.

¹¹ Let the evil man go on in his evil: and let the unclean be still unclean: and let the upright go on in his righteousness: and let the holy be holy still.

¹² See, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give to every man the outcome of his works.
