From Textus Receptus

Current revision

• 1 This know also, that in the last dayes perillous times shall come.

• 2 For men shall bee louers of their owne selues, couetous, boasters, proude, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, vnthankfull, vnholy,

• 3 Without naturall affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

• 4 Traitours, heady, high minded, louers of pleasures more then louers of God,

• 5 Hauing a forme of godlinesse, but denying the power thereof: from such turne away.

• 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and leade captiue silly women laden with sinnes, led away with diuers lusts,

• 7 Euer learning, and neuer able to come to the knowledge of the trueth.

• 8 Now as Iannes and Iambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the trueth: men of corrupt mindes, reprobate concerning the faith.

• 9 But they shal proceede no further: for their folly shall be manifest vnto all men, as theirs also was.

• 10 But thou hast fully knowen my doctrine, maner of life, purpose, faith, long suffering, charitie, patience,

• 11 Persecutions, afflictions which came vnto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra, what persecutions I indured: but out of them all the Lord deliuered me.

• 12 Yea, and all that will liue godly in Christ Iesus, shall suffer persecution.

• 13 But euill men and seducers shall waxe worse and worse, deceiuing, and being deceiued.

• 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned, and hast been assured of, knowing of whome thou hast learned them.

• 15 And that from a childe thou hast knowen the holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise vnto saluation through faith which is in Christ Iesus.

• 16 All Scripture is giuen by inspiration of God, & is profitable for doctrine, for reproofe, for correction, for instrution in righteousnesse,

• 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished vnto all good workes.
