For this cause I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus, with everlasting glory.

But shun the profane babblings; for they will go on to a higher degree of ungodliness;

But the foolish and ignorant questionings avoid, knowing that they gender quarrels;

and they may awake to their senses out of the snare of the Devil, by whom they have been taken captive to do his will.

For of these are they who creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away by divers lusts,

But they will proceed no further; for their folly will be clearly manifest to all, as that of those men was.

For the time will come, when they will not endure sound doctrine, but after their own desires will they heap to themselves teachers; because they have itching ears;

and they will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to fables.
