[1]This knowe also, that in the last dayes, perylous tymes shalbe at hande
[2]For men shalbe louers of their owne selues, couetous, boasters, proude, blasphemers, disobedient to fathers and mothers, vnthankefull, vngodlye
[3]Without naturall affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, riotous, fierce, despisers of them which are good
[4]Traytours, headdy, hye mynded, louers of pleasures more then louers of God
[5]Hauyng a fourme of godlynesse, but denying the power therof: turne away from these
[6]These are they, which enter into houses, & leade captiue [simple] women laden with sinne, caryed with diuers lustes
[7]Euer learnyng, and neuer able to come vnto the knowledge of the trueth
[8]For as Iannes and Iambres withstoode Moyses, so do these also resist the trueth: Men of corrupt myndes, reprobate concernyng the fayth
[9]But they shall preuayle no longer. For their madnesse shalbe manifest vnto all [men] as also theirs was
[10]But thou hast folowed my doctrine, fashion of lyuyng, purpose, fayth, long sufferyng, loue, patience
[11]Persecutions, afflictions, which came vnto me at Antioche, at Iconium, at Lystra, which persecutions I suffred patiently: And from them all, the Lord deliuered me
[12]Yea, and all that wyll lyue godly in Christe Iesus, shall suffer persecution
[13]But the euyll men and deceauers, shall waxe worse and worse, deceauyng and deceaued
[14]But continue thou in the thynges which thou haste learned, which also were committed vnto thee, knowyng of whom thou hast learned [them]
[15]And that from an infant thou hast knowen the scriptures, which are able to make thee wyse vnto saluation, thorowe fayth which is in Christe Iesus
[16]All scripture is geuen by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable to doctrine, to reproue, to correction, to instruction which is in ryghteousnesse
[17]That the man of God may be perfect, instructed vnto all good workes
