1This <5124> know <1097> (5720) also <1161>_, that <3754> in <1722> the last <2078> days <2250> perilous <5467> times <2540> shall come <1764> (5695)_.
2For <1063> men <444> shall be <2071> (5704) lovers of their own selves <5367>_, covetous <5366>_, boasters <213>_, proud <5244>_, blasphemers <989>_, disobedient <545> to parents <1118>_, unthankful <884>_, unholy <462>_,
3Without natural affection <794>_, trucebreakers <786>_, false accusers <1228>_, incontinent <193>_, fierce <434>_, despisers of those that are good <865>_, {false...: or, one who foments strife}
4Traitors <4273>_, heady <4312>_, highminded <5187> (5772)_, lovers of pleasures <5369> more <3123> than <2228> lovers of God <5377>_;
5Having <2192> (5723) a form <3446> of godliness <2150>_, but <1161> denying <720> (5768) the power <1411> thereof <846>_: from <2532> such <5128> turn away <665> (5732)_.
6For <1063> of <1537> this sort <5130> are they <1526> (5748) which creep <1744> (5723) into <1519> houses <3614>_, and <2532> lead captive <162> (5723) silly women <1133> laden <4987> (5772) with sins <266>_, led away <71> (5746) with divers <4164> lusts <1939>_,

8<3739> Now <1161> as <5158> Jannes <2389> and <2532> Jambres <2387> withstood <436> (5627) Moses <3475>_, so <3779> do <436> (0) these <3778> also <2532> resist <436> (5731) the truth <225>_: men <444> of corrupt <2704> (5772) minds <3563>_, reprobate <96> concerning <4012> the faith <4102>_. {reprobate: or, of no judgment}
9But <235> they shall proceed <4298> (5692) no <3756> further <1909> <4119>_: for <1063> their <846> folly <454> shall be <2071> (5704) manifest <1552> unto all <3956> [men], as <5613> theirs <1565> also <2532> was <1096> (5633)_.
10But <1161> thou <4771> hast fully known <3877> (5758) my <3450> doctrine <1319>_, manner of life <72>_, purpose <4286>_, faith <4102>_, longsuffering <3115>_, charity <26>_, patience <5281>_, {fully...: or, been a diligent follower of}

12Yea <1161>_, and <2532> all <3956> that will <2309> (5723) live <2198> (5721) godly <2153> in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> shall suffer persecution <1377> (5701)_.
13But <1161> evil <4190> men <444> and <2532> seducers <1114> shall wax <4298> (5692) worse and worse <1909> <5501>_, deceiving <4105> (5723)_, and <2532> being deceived <4105> (5746)_.
14But <1161> continue <3306> (5720) thou <4771> in <1722> the things which <3739> thou hast learned <3129> (5627) and <2532> hast been assured of <4104> (5681)_, knowing <1492> (5761) of <3844> whom <5101> thou hast learned <3129> (5627) [them];
15And <2532> that <3754> from <575> a child <1025> thou hast known <1492> (5758) the holy <2413> scriptures <1121>_, which <3588> are able <1410> (5740) to make <4679> (0) thee <4571> wise <4679> (5658) unto <1519> salvation <4991> through <1223> faith <4102> which <3588> is in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>_.
16All <3956> scripture <1124> [is] given by inspiration of God <2315>_, and <2532> [is] profitable <5624> for <4314> doctrine <1319>_, for <4314> reproof <1650>_, for <4314> correction <1882>_, for <4314> instruction <3809> in <1722> righteousness <1343>_:
17That <2443> the man <444> of God <2316> may be <5600> (5753) perfect <739>_, throughly furnished <1822> (5772) unto <4314> all <3956> good <18> works <2041>_. {throughly...: or, perfected}
