Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.

That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!

Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.

For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:

In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.

But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
