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.
