¹⁰ And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

⁵ For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

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

² For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

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

⁴ traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

⁵ holding a form of godliness, but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also.

⁶ For some of these are people who creep into houses, and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,

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