But{G1161} know{G1097} this,{G5124} that{G3754} in{G1722} the last{G2078} days{G2250} grievous{G5467} times{G2540} shall come.{G1764}

For{G1063} men{G444} shall be{G2071} lovers of self,{G5367} lovers of money,{G5366} boastful,{G213} haughty,{G5244} railers,{G989} disobedient{G545} to parents,{G1118} unthankful,{G884} unholy,{G462}

without natural affection,{G794} implacable,{G786} slanderers,{G1228} without self-control,{G193} fierce,{G434} no lovers of good,{G865}

traitors,{G4273} headstrong,{G4312} puffed{G5187} up, lovers of pleasure{G5369} rather{G3123} than{G2228} lovers of God;{G5377}

holding{G2192} a form{G3446} of godliness,{G2150} but{G1161} having denied{G720} the power{G1411} thereof:{G846} from{G665} these{G5128} also turn away.{G665}

For{G1063} of{G1537} these{G5130} are{G1526} they that creep{G1744} into{G1519} houses,{G3614} and{G2532} take captive{G162} silly women{G1133} laden{G4987} with sins,{G266} led away{G71} by divers{G4164} lusts,{G1939}

ever{G3842} learning,{G3129} and{G2532} never{G3368} able{G1410} to come{G2064} to{G1519} the knowledge{G1922} of the truth.{G225}

And{G1161} even as{G5158} Jannes{G2389} and{G2532} Jambres{G2387} withstood{G436} Moses,{G3475} so{G3779} do{G436} these{G3778} also{G2532} withstand{G436} the truth.{G225} Men{G444} corrupted{G2704} in mind,{G3563} reprobate{G96} concerning{G4012} the faith.{G4102}

But{G235} they shall proceed{G4298} no{G3756} further.{G4119} For{G1063} their{G846} folly{G454} shall be{G2071} evident{G1552} unto all{G3956} men, as{G5613} theirs{G1565} also{G2532} came to be.{G1096}

But{G1161} thou{G4771} didst follow{G3877} my{G3450} teaching,{G1319} conduct,{G72} purpose,{G4286} faith,{G4102} longsuffering,{G3115} love,{G26} patience,{G5281}

persecutions,{G1375} sufferings.{G3804} What{G3634} things befell{G1096} me{G3427} at{G1722} Antioch,{G490} at{G1722} Iconium,{G2430} at{G1722} Lystra;{G3082} what{G3634} persecutions{G1375} I endured.{G5297} And{G2532} out of{G1537} them all{G3956} the Lord{G2962} delivered{G4506} me.{G3165}

Yea,{G1161} and{G2532} all{G3956} that would{G2309} live{G2198} godly{G2153} in{G1722} Christ{G5547} Jesus{G2424} shall suffer persecution.{G1377}

But{G1161} evil{G4190} men{G444} and{G2532} impostors{G1114} shall wax{G4298} worse and worse,{G5501} deceiving{G4105} and{G2532} being deceived.{G4105}

But{G1161} abide{G3306} thou{G4771} in{G1722} the things which{G3739} thou hast learned{G3129} and{G2532} hast been assured of,{G4104} knowing{G1492} of{G3844} whom{G5101} thou hast learned{G3129} them.

And{G2532} that{G3754} from{G575} a babe{G1025} thou hast known{G1492} the sacred{G2413} writings{G1121} which are able{G1410} to make{G4679} thee{G4571} wise{G4679} unto{G1519} salvation{G4991} through{G1223} faith{G4102} which is{G3588} in{G1722} Christ{G5547} Jesus.{G2424}

Every{G3956} scripture{G1124} inspired of God{G2315} [is] also{G2532} profitable{G5624} for{G4314} teaching,{G1319} for{G4314} reproof,{G1650} for{G4314} correction,{G1882} for{G4314} instruction{G3809} which is in{G1722} righteousness.{G1343}

That{G2443} the man{G444} of God{G2316} may be{G5600} complete,{G739} furnished{G1822} completely unto{G4314} every{G3956} good{G18} work.{G2041}
