Perilous Times And Perilous Men



Let as many Bondservants as are under The Yoke, Count Their Own Masters Worthy of All Honor, so that The Name of God and His Doctrine, may NOT be Blasphemed.  And Those Who have Believing Masters, let them NOT Despise Them, because They are Brethren, but rather Serve Them, because Those Who are Benefited are Believers and Beloved.  Teach and Exhort, These Things.  If Anyone Teaches Otherwise and does NOT Consent to Wholesome Words, even The Words of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and to The Doctrine, which Accords with Godliness, he is Proud, Knowing Nothing, but is Obsessed with Disputes and Arguments over words, from which Come, Envy, Strife, Reviling, Evil Suspicions, Useless Wranglings of Men of Corrupt Minds, and Destitute of The Truth, Who suppose that Godliness, is a Means of Gain.  From Such, Withdraw Yourself. 

But Know This, that in The Last Days, Perilous Times will Come: For Men will be Lovers of Themselves, Lovers of Money, Boasters, Proud, Blasphemers, Disobedient to Parents, Unthankful, Unholy, Unloving, Unforgiving, Slanderers, Without Self-Control, Brutal, Despisers of Good, Traitors, Headstrong, Haughty, Lovers of Pleasure, Rather Than Lovers of God, having a Form of Godliness, but Denying Its Power.  And from Such People, Turn Away!  For of this Sort, are Those Who Creep into Households, and Make Captives of Gullible Women, Loaded Down with sins, Led Away by Various Lusts, Always Learning, and Never Able to Come to The Knowledge of The Truth.  Now, as Jannes and Jambres Resisted Moses, so do These, also Resist The Truth: Men of Corrupt Minds, Disapproved Concerning The Faith; but They will Progress NO Further, for Their Folly, will be Manifest to All, as Theirs, also was.

These are Grumblers, Complainers, Walking According to Their Own Lusts; and They mouth, Great Swelling Words, Flattering People to Gain Advantage.  But YOU, Beloved, Remember The Words, which were Spoken before by The Apostles of Our Lord Jesus Christ: how They Told YOU, that there would be Mockers in The Last Time, Who would Walk, According to Their Own Ungodly Lusts.  These are Sensual Persons, Who Cause Divisions, NOT Having The Spirit.

Little Children, it is The Last Hour; and as YOU have heard, that The Antichrist is Coming, even now, many antichrists have Come, by which We Know that it is The Last Hour.  They went out from Us, but They were NOT of Us; for IF They had been of Us, They would have Continued with Us; but They went out, that They might be Made Manifest, that NONE of Them, were of Us.  But YOU have an Anointing, from The Holy One, and YOU Know All Things.  I have NOT written to YOU, because YOU do NOT Know The Truth, but because YOU Know It, and that no lie is of The Truth.  Who is a Liar, but he Who Denies that Jesus is The Christ?  He is antichrist, Who Denies The Father and The Son.  Whoever Denies The Son, does NOT have The Father either; he Who Acknowledges The Son, has The Father, also.
