1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come.

2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boasters, arrogant, blasphemous, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, impious,

3 devoid of natural affection, irreconcilable, slanderous, without self-control, savage, no lovers of good,

4 traitors, reckless, beclouded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God,

5 having a form of piety, but repudiating the power of it. Now turn away from these men,

6 for from these are those who creep into houses, and take captive petty women laden with sins, being led away by various impulses,

7 ever learning and never able to come to knowledge of truth.

8 And by which way Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also do these oppose the truth. Men corrupted in mind, worthless about the faith.

9 But they will not advance in much more, for their folly will be evident to all men, as also that of those men came to be.

10 But thou have closely followed my doctrine, conduct, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance,

11 persecutions, sufferings, such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra. I endured such persecutions, and the Lord rescued me out of them all.

12 And also all those who want to live devoutly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

13 But evil men and impostors will go forward to worse, leading astray and being led astray.

14 But continue thou in what thou learned and were convinced of, knowing from whom thou learned them.

15 And that from a babe thou have known the sacred writings, which are able to make thee wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

16 Every scripture is inspired by God and useful for instruction, for reproof, for correction, for discipline in righteousness,

17 so that the man of God may be qualified, having been completed for every good work.

1 This understonde that in the last dayes shall come parelous tymes.

2 For the me shalbe lovers of their awne selves coveteous bosters proude cursed speakers disobediet to father and mother vnthakfull vnholy

3 vnkinde trucebreakers stubborn falce accusars ryatours fearce despisers of the which are good

4 traytours heddy hye mynded gredy apon volupteousnes more then the lovers of god

5 havynge a similitude of godly lyvynge but have denyed the power ther of and soche abhorre.

6 Of this sorte are they which entre in to houses and brynge into bondage wymmen laden with synne which wemen are ledde of divers lustes

7 ever learnynge and never able to come vnto the knowledge of the trueth.

8 As Iannes and Iambres withstode Moses even so do these resist the trueth men they are of corrupt myndes and leawde as concernynge the fayth:

9 but they shall prevayle no leger. For their madnes shalbe vttered vnto all men as theirs was.

10 But thou hast sene ye experience of my doctrine fassion of lyuynge purpose fayth longe sufferynge love pacience

11 persecucions and affliccions which happened vnto me at Antioche at Iconium and at lystra: which persecucions I suffered paciently. And from them all the lorde delivered me.

12 Ye and all that will live godly in Christ Iesu must suffre persecucions.

13 But the evyll men and disceavers shall wexe worsse and worsse whill they deceave and are deceaved them selves.

14 But continue thou in the thynges which thou hast learned which also were committed vnto the seynge thou knowest of whom thou hast learned them

15 and for as moche also as thou hast knowe holy scripture of a chylde which is able to make the wyse vnto saluacion thorowe the fayth which ys in Christ Iesu.

16 For all scripture geve by inspiracion of god is proffitable to teache to improve to amende and to instruct in rightewesnes

17 yt ye man of god maye be perfect and prepared vnto all good workes.
