¹But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come.

¹ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܝܕܥ ܕܒܝܘܡܬܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ ܢܐܬܘܢ ܙܒܢܐ ܩܫܝܐ ܀

²For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

²ܘܢܗܘܘܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܪܚܡܝ ܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܘܪܚܡܝ ܟܤܦܐ ܫܒܗܪܢܐ ܪܡܐ ܡܓܕܦܢܐ ܕܠܐܢܫܝܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܬܛܦܝܤܝܢ ܟܦܪܝ ܒܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܪܫܝܥܐ ܀

³without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good,

³ܐܟܠܝ ܩܪܨܐ ܡܫܥܒܕܝ ܠܪܓܬܐ ܒܥܪܝܪܝܐ ܤܢܝܝ ܛܒܬܐ ܀

⁴traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

⁴ܡܫܠܡܢܐ ܡܤܪܗܒܐ ܚܬܝܪܐ ܪܚܡܝ ܪܓܝܓܬܐ ܛܒ ܡܢ ܚܘܒܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

⁵holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power therefore. From these also turn away.

⁵ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܤܟܡܐ ܕܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܢ ܚܝܠܗ ܪܚܝܩܝܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܚܘܩ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܢܟ ܀

⁶For of these are they that creep into houses, and take captive silly women laden with sins, led away by divers lusts,

⁶ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܚܠܕܝܢ ܒܝܬ ܒܬܐ ܘܫܒܝܢ ܢܫܐ ܕܛܡܝܪܢ ܒܚܛܗܐ ܘܡܬܕܒܪܢ ܠܪܓܝܓܬܐ ܡܫܚܠܦܬܐ ܀

⁷ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

⁷ܕܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܝܠܦܢ ܘܡܡܬܘܡ ܠܝܕܥܬܐ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܠܡܐܬܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܀

⁸And even as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth. Men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.

⁸ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܝܢܤ ܘܝܡܒܪܝܤ ܩܡܘ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܡܘܫܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܗܢܘܢ ܩܝܡܝܢ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܫܪܪܐ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܡܚܒܠ ܪܥܝܢܗܘܢ ܘܤܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܀

⁹But they shall proceed no further. For their folly shall be evident unto all men, as theirs also came to be.

⁹ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܢܐܬܘܢ ܠܩܕܡܝܗܘܢ ܫܛܝܘܬܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܬܝܕܥܐ ܗܝ ܠܟܠܢܫ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܐܬܝܕܥܬ ܀

¹⁰But thou didst follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,

¹⁰ܐܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܝܬ ܒܬܪ ܝܘܠܦܢܝ ܘܒܬܪ ܕܘܒܪܝ ܘܒܬܪ ܨܒܝܢܝ ܘܒܬܪ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܝ ܘܒܬܪ ܢܓܝܪܘܬ ܪܘܚܝ ܘܒܬܪ ܚܘܒܝ ܘܒܬܪ ܡܤܝܒܪܢܘܬܝ ܀

¹¹persecutions, sufferings. What things befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me.

¹¹ܘܒܬܪ ܪܕܝܦܘܬܝ ܘܒܬܪ ܚܫܝ ܘܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܤܝܒܪܬ ܒܐܢܛܝܟܝܐ ܘܒܐܝܩܢܘܢ ܘܒܠܘܤܛܪܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܪܕܝܦܘܬܐ ܤܝܒܪܬ ܘܡܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܦܨܝܢܝ ܡܪܝ ܀

¹²Yea, and all that would live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

¹²ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܨܒܝܢ ܒܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܢܚܘܢ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܬܪܕܦܝܢ ܀

¹³But evil men and impostors shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

¹³ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܝܫܐ ܘܡܛܥܝܢܐ ܢܘܤܦܘܢ ܥܠ ܒܝܫܘܬܗܘܢ ܟܕ ܛܥܝܢ ܘܡܛܥܝܢ ܀

¹⁴But abide thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them.

¹⁴ܐܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܩܘܐ ܒܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܠܦܬ ܘܐܫܬܪܪܬ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܡܢܘ ܝܠܦܬ ܀

¹⁵And that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁵ܘܕܡܢ ܛܠܝܘܬܟ ܤܦܪܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܝܠܝܦ ܐܢܬ ܕܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܕܢܚܟܡܘܢܟ ܠܚܝܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

¹⁶Every scripture inspired of God [is] also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness.

¹⁶ܟܠ ܟܬܒ ܕܒܪܘܚܐ ܐܬܟܬܒ ܡܘܬܪܢܐ ܗܘ ܠܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܘܠܟܘܘܢܐ ܘܠܬܘܪܨܐ ܘܠܡܪܕܘܬܐ ܕܒܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܀

¹⁷That the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.
