and the profane vain talkings stand aloof from, for to more impiety they will advance,

and all also who will to live piously in Christ Jesus shall be persecuted,

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,
