3:1
[kjv] This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
[bbe] But be certain of this, that in the last days times of trouble will come.
3:2
[kjv] For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
[bbe] For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, uplifted in pride, given to bitter words, going against the authority of their fathers, never giving praise, having no religion,
3:3
[kjv] Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
[bbe] Without natural love, bitter haters, saying evil of others, violent and uncontrolled, hating all good,
3:4
[kjv] Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
[bbe] False to their friends, acting without thought, lifted up in mind, loving pleasure more than God;
3:5
[kjv] Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
[bbe] Having a form of religion, but turning their backs on the power of it: go not with these.
3:6
[kjv] For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
[bbe] For these are they who go secretly into houses, making prisoners of foolish women, weighted down with sin, turned from the way by their evil desires,
3:7
[kjv] Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
[bbe] Ever learning, and never coming to the knowledge of what is true.
3:8
[kjv] Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
[bbe] And as James and Jambres went against Moses, so do these go against what is true: men of evil minds, who, tested by faith, are seen to be false.
3:9
[kjv] But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
[bbe] But they will go no farther: for their foolish behaviour will be clear to all men, as theirs was in the end. ............
