And this same also -- all diligence having brought in besides, superadd in your faith the worthiness, and in the worthiness the knowledge,

having known that soon is the laying aside of my tabernacle, even as also our Lord Jesus Christ did shew to me,

and I will be diligent that also at every time ye have, after my outgoing, power to make to yourselves the remembrance of these things.

And there did come also false prophets among the people, as also among you there shall be false teachers, who shall bring in besides destructive sects, and the Master who bought them denying, bringing to themselves quick destruction,

liberty to them promising, themselves being servants of the corruption, for by whom any one hath been overcome, to this one also he hath been brought to servitude,

and the long-suffering of our Lord count ye salvation, according as also our beloved brother Paul -- according to the wisdom given to him -- did write to you,

as also in all the epistles, speaking in them concerning these things, among which things are certain hard to be understood, which the untaught and unstable do wrest, as also the other Writings, unto their own destruction.
