Of dogs

As a dog hath returned to its vomit, A fool is repeating his folly.

Blind are his watchmen -- all of them, They have not known, All of them are dumb dogs, they are not able to bark, Dozing, lying down, loving to slumber.

Ye may not give that which is holy to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the swine, that they may not trample them among their feet, and having turned -- may rend you.

and then shall many be stumbled, and they shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another.

and if one another ye do bite and devour, see -- that ye may not by one another be consumed.

Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil; may the Lord repay to him according to his works,

and happened to them hath that of the true similitude; 'A dog did turn back upon his own vomit,' and, 'A sow having bathed herself -- to rolling in mire.'

and without are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the whoremongers, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one who is loving and is doing a lie.

Evil

whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who the things on earth are minding.

Turn aside from me, ye evil-doers, And I keep the commands of my God.

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, lord, have we not in thy name prophesied? and in thy name cast out demons? and in thy name done many mighty things?

for those such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ,

For ye -- to freedom ye were called, brethren, only not the freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through the love serve ye one another,

having faith and a good conscience, which certain having thrust away, concerning the faith did make shipwreck,

And this know thou, that in the last days there shall come perilous times,

for there shall be a season when the sound teaching they will not suffer, but according to their own desires to themselves they shall heap up teachers -- itching in the hearing,

God they profess to know, and in the works they deny Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work disapproved.

for overswellings of vanity speaking, they do entice in desires of the flesh -- lasciviousnesses, those who had truly escaped from those conducting themselves in error,

for there did come in unobserved certain men, long ago having been written beforehand to this judgment, impious, the grace of our God perverting to lasciviousness, and our only Master, God, and Lord -- Jesus Christ -- denying,

and to fearful, and unstedfast, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the liars, their part is in the lake that is burning with fire and brimstone, which is a second death.'

The

for we are the circumcision, who by the Spirit are serving God, and glorying in Christ Jesus, and in flesh having no trust,

For he is not a Jew who is so outwardly, neither is circumcision that which is outward in flesh;

but not even Titus, who is with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised --

In the freedom, then, with which Christ did make you free -- stand ye, and be not held fast again by a yoke of servitude;

I have known thy works, and tribulation, and poverty -- yet thou art rich -- and the evil-speaking of those saying themselves to be Jews, and are not, but are a synagogue of the Adversary.

lo, I make of the synagogue of the Adversary those saying themselves to be Jews, and are not, but do lie; lo, I will make them that they may come and bow before thy feet, and may know that I loved thee.
