As I besought you to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that you might charge some that they teach no other doctrine,

From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain talk;

Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made it shipwreck:

Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to deceitful spirits, and doctrines of demons;

For some are already turned aside after Satan.

Some men's sins are evident beforehand, going before them to judgment; and some men they follow after.

Likewise also the good works of some are evident beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.
