55:002:011 It is a faithful saying:  For if we be dead with him, we shall
           also live with him: 

55:002:012 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him:  if we deny him, he
           also will deny us: 

55:002:013 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful:  he cannot deny
           himself.

55:002:014 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.

55:002:015 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that
           needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

55:002:016 But shun profane and vain babblings:  for they will increase
           unto more ungodliness.

55:002:017 And their word will eat as doth a canker:  of whom is Hymenaeus
           and Philetus;

55:002:018 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the
           resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.

55:002:019 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.

55:002:020 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of
           silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and
           some to dishonour.

55:002:021 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a
           vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use,
           and prepared unto every good work.

55:002:022 Flee also youthful lusts:  but follow righteousness, faith,
           charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure
           heart.

55:002:023 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they
           do gender strifes.

55:002:024 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle
           unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

55:002:025 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God
           peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of
           the truth;

55:002:026 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the
           devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

55:003:001 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall
           come.

55:003:002 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous,
           boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
           unthankful, unholy,

55:003:003 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers,
           incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

55:003:004 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than
           lovers of God;
