|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

|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.

|I charge [thee] therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
|
|
|-
|2
|Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
|
|
|-

|For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
|
|
|-
|4
|And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
|
|
|-

|But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

|
|
|-

|Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
