1This understonde that in the last dayes shall come parelous tymes.

2For the me shalbe lovers of their awne selves coveteous bosters proude cursed speakers disobedient to father and mother vnthakfull vnholy

3vnkinde trucebreakers stubborn falce accusars ryatours fearce despisers of the which are good

4traytours heddy hye mynded gredy apon volupteousnes more then the lovers of god

5havynge a similitude of godly lyvynge but have denyed the power ther of and soche abhorre.

6Of this sorte are they which entre in to houses and brynge into bondage wymmen laden with synne which wemen are ledde of divers lustes

7ever learnynge and never able to come vnto the knowledge of the trueth.

8As Iannes and Iambres withstode Moses even so do these resist the trueth men they are of corrupt myndes and leawde as concernynge the fayth:

9but they shall prevayle no lenger. For their madnes shalbe vttered vnto all men as theirs was.

10But thou hast sene the experience of my doctrine fassion of lyuynge purpose fayth longe sufferynge love pacience

11persecucions and affliccions which happened vnto me at Antioche at Iconium and at lystra: which persecucions I suffered paciently. And from them all the lorde delivered me.

12Ye and all that will live godly in Christ Iesu must suffre persecucions.

13But the evyll men and disceavers shall wexe worsse and worsse whill they deceave and are deceaved them selves.

14But continue thou in the thynges which thou hast learned which also were committed vnto the seynge thou knowest of whom thou hast learned them

15and for as moche also as thou hast knowe holy scripture of a chylde which is able to make the wyse vnto saluacion thorowe the fayth which ys in Christ Iesu.

16For all scripture geve by inspiracion of god is proffitable to teache to improve to amende and to instruct in rightewesnes

17that the man of god maye be perfect and prepared vnto all good workes.
