- 1. ¶ KNOW this, that in the last days disastrous times will come.
- 2. And men shall be lovers of themselves and lovers of money, proud, conceited, blasphemers, disobedient to their own people, ungrateful, wicked,
- 3. False accusers, addicts to lust, brutal, haters of good things,
- 4. Traitors, hasty, boasters, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
- 5. Having a form of godliness, but far from the power of God; from such turn away.
- 6. For of this sort are those who creep into houses and captivate women sunken in sin, led away with divers lusts,
- 7. Ever striving to learn, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
- 8. Now just as Jannes and Jambres stood up against Moses, so do these also resist the truth, men of corrupt minds and far off from the faith.
- 9. But they shall not progress, for their folly is well known to every man, even as that of the others also was.
- 10. ¶ But you have been a follower of my teaching, manner of life, purpose, faith, patience, charity, love, steadfastness,
- 11. Persecution, and sorrows; you know the things which I endured at Antioch and at Iconium and at Lystra; how I was persecuted, and yet from all these my Lord delivered me.
- 12. Likewise, all those who wish to live a godly life in Jesus Christ shall suffer persecution.
- 13. But bad and deceptive men shall grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
- 14. But hold fast to the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them,
- 15. And knowing that you have learned from your childhood the holy scriptures which are able to make you wise to salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
- 16. All scripture written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness;
- 17. So that God’s people may become complete, thoroughly perfected for every good work.
