1This[G5124]know[G1097]also[G1161], that[G3754]in[G1722] the last[G2078]days[G2250]perilous[G5467]times[G2540] shall come[G1764].
2For[G1063]men[G444] shall be[G2071] lovers of their own selves[G5367], covetous[G5366], boasters[G213], proud[G5244], blasphemers[G989], disobedient[G545] to parents[G1118], unthankful[G884], unholy[G462],
3
Without natural affection[G794], trucebreakers[G786], false accusers[G1228], incontinent[G193], fierce[G434], despisers of those that are good[G865],
4Traitors[G4273], heady[G4312], highminded[G5187], lovers of pleasures[G5369]more[G3123]than[G2228] lovers of God[G5377];
5Having[G2192] a form[G3446] of godliness[G2150], but[G1161]denying[G720] the power[G1411]thereof[G846]: from[G2532]such[G5128] turn away[G665].
6For[G1063]of[G1537] this sort[G5130] are they[G1526] which creep[G1744]into[G1519]houses[G3614], and[G2532] lead captive[G162] silly women[G1133]laden[G4987] with sins[G266], led away[G71] with divers[G4164]lusts[G1939],
7Ever[G3842]learning[G3129], and[G2532]never[G3368]able[G1410]to[G1519]come[G2064]to[G1519] the knowledge[G1922] of the truth[G225].
8Now[G1161]as[G5158]Jannes[G2389]and[G2532]Jambres[G2387]withstood[G436]Moses[G3475], so[G3779]do[G436]these[G3778]also[G2532]resist[G436] the truth[G225]: men[G444] of corrupt[G2704]minds[G3563], reprobate[G96]concerning[G4012] the faith[G4102].
11Persecutions[G1375], afflictions[G3804], which[G3634]came[G1096] unto me[G3427]at[G1722]Antioch[G490], at[G1722]Iconium[G2430], at[G1722]Lystra[G3082]; what[G3634]persecutions[G1375] I endured[G5297]: but[G2532] out of[G1537] them all[G3956] the Lord[G2962]delivered[G4506]me[G3165].
12Yea[G1161], and[G2532]all[G3956] that will[G2309]live[G2198]godly[G2153]in[G1722]Christ[G5547]Jesus[G2424] shall suffer persecution[G1377].
13But[G1161]evil[G4190]men[G444]and[G2532]seducers[G1114] shall wax[G4298]worse[G1909]and[G2532]worse[G5501], deceiving[G4105], and[G2532] being deceived[G4105].
14But[G1161]continue[G3306]thou[G4771]in[G1722] the things which[G3739]thou[G4771] hast learned[G3129]and[G2532] hast been assured of[G4104], knowing[G1492]of[G3844]whom[G5101]thou[G4771] hast learned[G3129] them;
15And[G2532]that[G3754]from[G575] a child[G1025] thou hast known[G1492] the holy[G2413]scriptures[G1121], which[G3588] are able[G1410] to make[G4679]thee[G4571]wise[G4679]unto[G1519]salvation[G4991]through[G1223]faith[G4102]which[G3588] is in[G1722]Christ[G5547]Jesus[G2424].
16All[G3956]scripture[G1124] is given by inspiration of God[G2315], and[G2532] is profitable for[G4314]doctrine[G1319], for[G4314]reproof[G1650], for[G4314]correction[G1882], for[G4314]instruction[G3809]in[G1722]righteousness[G1343]:
17That[G2443] the man[G444] of God[G2316] may be[G5600]perfect[G739], throughly furnished[G1822]unto[G4314]all[G3956]good[G18]works[G2041].
