without natural affection, implacable, false accusers, intemperate, fierce, haters of those who are good,

4 traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

6 For of these are those creeping into houses, and leading captive little, silly women laden with sins, being led by divers lusts,

7 always learning, and never able to come into the perfect knowledge of the truth.

8 In the manner in which Jannes and Jambres also resisted Moses, so these indeed resist the truth; men who are corrupt as to their mind, reprobate concerning the faith.

9 But they shall proceed no further: for their insanity will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.

10 Burt you have followed my teaching, leadership, purpose, faith, long suffering, divine love, patience,

But you have fully known my teaching, my course of life, my purpose, my faithfulness, my long-suffering, my love, my patience,

11 persecutions, sufferings; such as came to me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; such persecutions as I endured: and the Lord delivered me out of them all.

my persecutions, my sufferings which came upon me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; you well know what persecutions I endured: and yet out of them all, the Lord delivered me.

And all that will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution.

13 But wicked men and seducers will wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

But evil men and impostors will become worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

14 But abide thou in those things which thou hast learned and in which thou hast been instructed, knowing from whom thou hast learned;

But do you continue in the things which you have learned and well understood, knowing from whom you learned them,

15 and that from an infant thou hast known the holy scriptures which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
