**1 **This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. **2 **For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, **3 **Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, **4 **Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; **5 **Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. **6 **For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, **7 **Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. **8 **Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. **9 **But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all *men*, as theirs also was.

**10 **But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, **11 **Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of *them* all the Lord delivered me. **12 **Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. **13 **But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. **14 **But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned *them*; **15 **And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. **16 **All scripture *is* given by inspiration of God, and *is* profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: **17 **That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
