Paul, the sent of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus,

And what thou hast heard from me by many witnesses, these things lay by for faithful men, who will be sufficient to teach others also.

If we endure, we shall also reign together: if we deny, he will also deny us:

And avoid profane, empty discourses: for they will proceed to more of profanation.

And this word as a gangrene, will have an eating ulcer: of whom is Hymeneus and Philetus;

That they may return to a state of sobriety from the snare of the devil, being taken alive by him at his will.

Devoid of natural affection, not observing treaties, accusers, ungoverned, wild, not loving the good,

For the time will be when they will not hear sound doctrine; but according to their own eager desires they will heap up to themselves teachers, feeling itchings for a report;

And truly from the truth will they turn away the hearing, and be turned aside to fictions.

As to the rest, the crown of justice is laid up for me, which the Lord will assign to me in that day, the just judge: and not only to me, but also to all them having loved his appearance.

And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and save for his heavenly kingdom: to whom the glory for the times of times. Amen.
