1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3Without naturall affection, truce breakers, false accusers, intemperate, fierce, no louers at all of them which are good, 4Traitours, headie, high minded, louers of pleasures more then louers of God, 5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6For of this sort are they which creepe into houses, and leade captiue simple women laden with sinnes, and led with diuers lustes, 7Which women are euer learning, and are neuer able to come to the acknowledging of the trueth. 8And as Iannes and Iambres withstoode Moses, so doe these also resist the trueth, men of corrupt mindes, reprobate concerning the faith. 9But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all [men], as theirs also was. 10But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of [them] all the Lord delivered me. 12Yea, and all that will liue godly in Christ Iesus, shall suffer persecution. 13But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14But continue thou in the thinges which thou hast learned, and which are committed vnto thee, knowing of who thou hast learned them: 15And that thou hast knowen the holy Scriptures of a childe, which are able to make thee wise vnto saluation, through the faith which is in Christ Iesus. 16All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
