1 And this know thou, that in the last days there shall come  perilous times,
         
                                
                        2 for men shall be lovers of themselves, lovers of money,  boasters, proud, evil-speakers, to parents disobedient,  unthankful, unkind,
         
                                
                        3 without natural affection, implacable, false accusers,  incontinent, fierce, not lovers of those who are good,
         
                                
                        4 traitors, heady, lofty, lovers of pleasure more than lovers  of God,
         
                                
                        5 having a form of piety, and its power having denied; and  from these be turning away,
         
                                
                        6 for of these there are those coming into the houses and  leading captive the silly women, laden with sins, led away  with desires manifold,
         
                                
                        7 always learning, and never to a knowledge of truth able to  come,
