:And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:

:But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.

:And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

:This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

:For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

:Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

:Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

:Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

:This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

:For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

:Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

:Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:

:For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

:Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

:For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, :And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

:If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

:He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

:Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

:For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

:For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

:But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

:I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

:So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

:Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

:For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

:Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

(:Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (:It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:

(:If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:

(:If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. (:Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.

(:Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

(:But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

(:And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

(:Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.

(:Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

:For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

:And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. :Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

:Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

:They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
