1 This but know thou, that in latter days will be present seasons trying.
2 Will be for the men self-lovers, money-lovers, boasters, haughty ones, revilers, to parents disobedient, unthankful ones, unholy ones,
3 void of natural affection, implacable, accusers, without self-control, fierce ones, without love to good men,
4 betrayers, rash ones, having been puffed up, pleasure-lovers rather than God-lovers;

15 and that from a babe the holy writings thou knowest, those being able thee to make wise for salvation, through faith of that in Anointed Jesus.
16 All writing inspired of God and profitable for teaching, for proof, for correction, for turning up that in righteousness;
17 so that complete may be the of the God man, for every work good having been thoroughly fitted,
