2 Timothy 3

1 But wite thou this thing, that in the laste daies perelouse tymes schulen neiye, and men schulen be louynge hem silf,

This, also, know, that in latter days perilous times will come.

2 coueitouse, hiy of bering, proude, blasfemeris, not obedient to fadir and modir, vnkynde,

For men will be self-lovers, money-lovers, boasters, proud, defamers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,

3 cursid, with outen affeccioun, with out pees, false blameris, vncontynent, vnmylde,

without natural affection, bargain-breakers, slanderers, incontinent, fierce, haters of good men,

4 with out benygnyte, traitouris, ouerthwert, bollun with proude thouytis, blynde, loueris of lustis more than of God,

headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God;

5 hauynge the licknesse of pitee, but denyynge the vertu of it. And eschewe thou these men.

having a form of godliness, but denying the power of it. Now, from these, turn away.

6 Of these thei ben that persen housis, and leden wymmen caitifs chargid with synnes, whiche ben led with dyuerse desiris, euere more lernynge,

Of these, indeed, are they who go into houses and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away by divers lusts;

7 and neuere perfitli comynge to the science of treuthe.

always learning, but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

8 And as Jannes and Mambres ayenstoden Moises, so these ayenstonden treuthe, men corrupt in vndirstonding, repreuyd aboute the feith.

Now, in the manner that Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men wholly corrupted in mind, reprobate as to the faith.

9 But ferthere thei schulen not profite, for the vnwisdom of hem schal be knowun to alle men, as hern was.

However, they shall not proceed further; for their foolishness shall be very plain to all, as theirs also was.

10 But thou hast getun my teching, ordinaunce, purposing, feith, long abiding, loue,

But you have fully known my teaching, manner of life, purpose, faith, meekness, love, patience,

11 pacience, persecuciouns, passiouns, whiche weren maad to me at Antioche, at Ycony, at Listris, what maner persecucyouns Y suffride, and the Lord hath delyuered me of alle.

persecutions, sufferings, such as befell me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra: such persecutions I endured; but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

12 And alle men that wolen lyue feithfuli in Crist Jhesu, schulen suffre persecucioun.

And all, indeed, who will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall be persecuted:

13 But yuele men and disseyueris schulen encreese in to worse, errynge, and sendinge in to errour.

but wicked men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

14 But dwelle thou in these thingis that thou hast lerud, and that ben bitakun to thee, witinge of whom thou hast lerud;

In the meantime, do you continue in the things which you have learned, and with which you have been intrusted, knowing from whom you have learned them;

15 for thou hast knowun hooli lettris fro thi youthe, whiche moun lerne thee to heelthe, bi feith that is in Crist Jhesu.

and that, from a child, you have known the sacred scriptures, which are able to make you wise to salvation, by the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16 For al scripture inspirid of God is profitable to teche, to repreue, to chastice, to lerne in riytwisnes,

All scripture, given by divine inspiration, is indeed profitable for doctrine, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17 that the man of God be parfit, lerud to al good werk.

that the man of God may be perfect--completely fitted for every good work.
