Evil in the Last Days 1Bvt this shalt thou knowe, that in the last dayes shal come parelous tymes. 2For there shalbe me which shal holde of the selues, couetous, boasters, proude, cursed speakers, dishobedient to their elders, vnthankfull, vngoostly, 3vnkynde, truce breakers, false accusers, ryatours, fearce, despysers of them which are good, 4traytours, heady, hye mynded, gredy vpon voluptuousnes more then the louers of God, 5hauynge a shyne off godly lyuynge, but denyenge the power therof. And soch avoyde. 6Of this sorte are they which rune fro house to house, & brynge in to bondage weme lade wt synne: which (wemen) are led with dyuerse lustes, 7euer lernynge, and are neuer able to come vnto the knowlege of the trueth. 8But like as Iamnes and Iabres withstode Moses, euen so do these also resist the trueth: me they are of corrupte myndes, and lewde as cocernynge ye faith: 9but they shal preuayle no longer. For their folishnes shalbe manifest vnto all men, as theirs was. All Scripture Is God-Breathed 10But thou hast sene the experience of my doctryne, my fasshion of lyuynge, my purpose, my faith, my longsufferynge, my loue, my pacience, 11my persecucions, my affliccions, which happened vnto me at Antioche, at Iconium, at Lystra, which persecucions I suffred paciently, and from the all the LORDE delyuered me. 12Yee and all they that wil lyue godly in Christ Iesu, must suffre persecucion. 13But the euell men and disceauers shal waxe worse and worse, disceauynge and beynge disceaued. 14But contynue thou in the thinges that thou hast lerned, which also were comytted vnto the, seynge thou knowest of who thou hast learned them, 15And for so moch as thou hast knowne holy scripture of a childe, the same is able to make ye wyse vnto saluacion thorow the faith in Christ Iesu. 16For all scripture geue by inspiracion of God, is profitable to teach, to improue, to amende, and to instructe in righteousnes, 17that a man off God maye be perfecte, and prepared vnto all good workes. |
