And know this, that in the last days there will come perilous times,

for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, slanderous, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unkind,
without natural affection, implacable, false accusers, without control, barbaric, not lovers of those who are good,
traitors, reckless, lofty, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God,
having a form of piety, but having denied its power; and be turning away from these,

for of these there are those coming into the houses and leading captive the weak women, loaded with sins, led away with manifold desires,
always learning, and never able to come to a knowledge of truth,

and even as Jannes and Jambres stood against Moses, so these also stand against the truth, men corrupted in mind, disapproved concerning the faith;
9 ⲑ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲡⲣⲟⲕⲟⲡⲧⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ. ⲧⲉⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲁⲛⲓⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ·
but they will not advance any further, for their folly will be evident to all, as theirs also became.
And you have followed after my teaching, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, love, endurance,
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛⲁⲇⲓⲱⲅⲙⲟⲥ. ⲛⲁϩⲓⲥⲉ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲧⲓⲟⲭⲓⲁ. ϩⲛ̅ϩⲓⲕⲟⲛⲓⲟⲥ. ϩⲛ̅ⲗⲩⲥⲇⲣⲁ. ⲛ̅ⲇⲓⲱⲅⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ϣⲟⲡⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲁϩⲙⲉⲧ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
the persecutions, the afflictions, that befell me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; what persecutions I endured! And the LORD delivered me out of all.
And all who will to live piously in Christ Jesus will also be persecuted,
and evil men and impostors will advance to the worse, leading astray and being led astray.
And you—remain in the things which you learned and were entrusted with, having known from whom you learned,
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ϫⲉ ϫⲓⲛⲉⲕⲥⲟⲃⲕ̅ ⲕⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲩⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲥⲁⲃⲟⲕ ⲉⲡⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅·
and because you have known the Holy Writings from infancy, which are able to make you wise—to salvation, through faith that [is] in Christ Jesus.
Every Writing [is] God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for correction, for instruction that [is] in righteousness,
that the man of God may be fitted—having been completed for every good work.
