55:002:023 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. 55:002:024 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 55:002:025 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 55:002:026 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. 55:003:001 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 55:003:002 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 55:003:003 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 55:003:004 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 55:003:005 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 55:003:006 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 55:003:007 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 55:003:008 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 55:003:009 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was. 55:003:010 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 55:003:011 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 55:003:012 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 55:003:013 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 55:003:014 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 55:003:015 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 55:003:016 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 55:003:017 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. 55:004:001 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
