The seconde Epistle to Tymothe. The .iij. Chapter.
- This understonde that in the last dayes shall come parelous tymes.
- For the me shalbe lovers of their awne selves coveteous bosters proude cursed speakers disobediet to father and mother vnthakfull vnholy
- vnkinde trucebreakers stubborn falce accusars ryatours fearce despisers of the which are good
- traytours heddy hye mynded gredy apon volupteousnes more then the lovers of god
- havynge a similitude of godly lyvynge but have denyed the power ther of and soche abhorre.
- Of this sorte are they which entre in to houses and brynge into bondage wymmen laden with synne which wemen are ledde of divers lustes
- ever learnynge and never able to come vnto the knowledge of the trueth.
- As Jannes and Jambres withstode Moses even so do these resist the trueth men they are of corrupt myndes and leawde as concernynge the fayth:
- but they shall prevayle no leger. For their madnes shalbe vttered vnto all men as theirs was.
- But thou hast sene ye experience of my doctrine fassion of lyuynge purpose fayth longe sufferynge love pacience
- persecucions and affliccions which happened vnto me at Antioche at Iconium and at lystra: which persecucions I suffered paciently. And from them all the lorde delivered me.
- Ye and all that will live godly in Christ Jesu must suffre persecucions.
- But the evyll men and disceavers shall wexe worsse and worsse whill they deceave and are deceaved them selves.
- But continue thou in the thynges which thou hast learned which also were committed vnto the seynge thou knowest of whom thou hast learned them
- and for as moche also as thou hast knowe holy scripture of a chylde which is able to make the wyse vnto saluacion thorowe the fayth which ys in Christ Jesu.
- For all scripture geve by inspiracion of god is proffitable to teache to improve to amende and to instruct in rightewesnes
- yt ye man of god maye be perfect and prepared vnto all good workes.
