1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For there shall be men who are lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, evil speakers, disobedient to their parents, unthankful, impure, 3 without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, without temperance, without meekness, without goodness, 4 traitors, rash, puffed up, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are those who creep into houses and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with various lusts, 7 ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 And in the manner that Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth, men of corrupt understanding, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall not prevail, for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as that of those also was.
