3:1 Know also this, that in the last days shall come dangerous times.

3:1 hoc autem scito quod in novissimis diebus instabunt tempora periculosa

3:2 Men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, haughty, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked,

3:2 et erunt homines se ipsos amantes cupidi elati superbi blasphemi parentibus inoboedientes ingrati scelesti

3:3 Without affection, without peace, slanderers, incontinent, unmerciful, without kindness,

3:3 sine affectione sine pace criminatores incontinentes inmites sine benignitate

3:4 Traitors, stubborn, puffed up, and lovers of pleasure more than of God:

3:4 proditores protervi tumidi voluptatium amatores magis quam Dei

3:5 Having an appearance indeed of godliness but denying the power thereof. Now these avoid.

3:5 habentes speciem quidem pietatis virtutem autem eius abnegantes et hos devita

3:6 For of these sort are they who creep into houses and lead captive silly women laden with sins, who are led away with divers desires:

3:6 ex his enim sunt qui penetrant domos et captivas ducunt mulierculas oneratas peccatis quae ducuntur variis desideriis

3:7 Ever learning, and never attaining to the knowledge of the truth.

3:7 semper discentes et numquam ad scientiam veritatis pervenientes

3:8 Now as Jannes and Mambres resisted Moses, so these also resist the truth, men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.

3:8 quemadmodum autem Iannes et Mambres restiterunt Mosi ita et hii resistunt veritati homines corrupti mente reprobi circa fidem

3:9 But they shall proceed no farther: for their folly shall be manifest to all men, as theirs also was.

3:9 sed ultra non proficient insipientia enim eorum manifesta erit omnibus sicut et illorum fuit

3:10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,

3:10 tu autem adsecutus es meam doctrinam institutionem propositum fidem longanimitatem dilectionem patientiam

3:11 Persecutions, afflictions: such as came upon me at Antioch, at Iconium and at Lystra: what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord delivered me.

3:11 persecutiones passiones qualia mihi facta sunt Antiochiae Iconii Lystris quales persecutiones sustinui et ex omnibus me eripuit Dominus

3:12 And all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

3:12 et omnes qui volunt pie vivere in Christo Iesu persecutionem patientur

3:13 But evil men and seducers shall grow worse and worse: erring, and driving into error,

3:13 mali autem homines et seductores proficient in peius errantes et in errorem mittentes

3:14 But continue thou in those things which thou hast learned and which have been committed to thee. Knowing of whom thou hast learned them:

3:14 tu vero permane in his quae didicisti et credita sunt tibi sciens a quo didiceris

3:15 And because from thy infancy thou hast known the holy scriptures which can instruct thee to salvation by the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

3:15 et quia ab infantia sacras litteras nosti quae te possint instruere ad salutem per fidem quae est in Christo Iesu

3:16 All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice:

3:16 omnis scriptura divinitus inspirata et utilis ad docendum ad arguendum ad corrigendum ad erudiendum in iustitia

3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work.

3:17 ut perfectus sit homo Dei ad omne opus bonum instructus
