Dit saust du weete, daut enne latste Doag woare seeha schwoare Tiede kome.

Dan Mensche woare fael fonn sikj selfst hoole, jietsijch, puchrich, Stollt, Lastra, Elre onnjuarsaum, onndankboa, onnheilich,

Oone Leew, lote sikj nich feseene met aundre, aundre schlajchtet no raede, oone selfstbeharschinj, onnbandijch, dee daut Goodet hause,

Eena daem aundra ferode, ruchloos, oppjeblost, dee daut Fejneaje meeha leef ha aus Gott;

Dee ne Form fonn Frommheit ha, oba dee Krauft doaenn aufsaje: drei die fonn soone wajch.

Dan fonn soone kome dee haea dee sikj enn Hiesa enenn schlikje en loose Fruehes jefange naeme dee met Sinde belode sent, en feleit sent enn feschiedne Losste,

Dee emma leare, oba niemols to de Woarheit kome kjenne.

Nu soo aus Janes en Jambres Mooses jaeajeaun stunnde, soo sent dise jaeajen de Woarheit, Mana met en fa-aedelda Senn, ennjewartelt jaeajen daen Gloowe.

Oba dee woare nich wieda ferwauts kome; dan aeare Dommheit woat aulamaun Kloa senne, soo aus jana aeat uk wea.

10 Oba du hast miene Lea jeneiw jefolcht, mien Benaeme, mien Ziel, mien Gloowe, miene Duldinj, miene Leew, miene Hoatlichkjeit,

11 Dee Fefoljunge, daut Liede, aules daut mie tookjeem enn Antiochean, Iekoonean, en Listra, aules daut ekj doa Liede deed, en ut aul daut haft de Herr mie jerat.

13 Oba met Gottloose en fefeararische Mensche woatet emma toonaeme, dee fefeare, en fefeat woare.

14 Oba du, bliew bie daut waut du jeleat hast, en em folle aewazeicht best, wiel du weetst fonn waem du daut jeleat hast,

15 En daut du fonn Kjint opp met dee Heilje Schreft best bekaunt jewast, daut die Weisheit fa Seelichkjeit jaewe kaun derch daen Gloowe enn Christus Jesus.

16 Aule Schreft es fonn Gott jejaeft, en es nutsboa tom Beleare, daut Onnrajchtet to bewiese, tom trajcht wiese, en tom unjarechte enn Jerachtichkjeit,

17 Soo daut dee Gottesmensch kaun follkome woare, to aule goode Woakje reed jemoakt.

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.(A) People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money,(B) boastful, proud,(C) abusive,(D) disobedient to their parents,(E) ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous,(F) rash, conceited,(G) lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness(H) but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.(I)

They are the kind who worm their way(J) into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.(K) Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses,(L) so also these teachers oppose(M) the truth. They are men of depraved minds,(N) who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men,(O) their folly will be clear to everyone.

A Final Charge to Timothy

10 You, however, know all about my teaching,(P) my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, 11 persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch,(Q) Iconium(R) and Lystra,(S) the persecutions I endured.(T) Yet the Lord rescued(U) me from all of them.(V) 12 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,(W) 13 while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse,(X) deceiving and being deceived.(Y) 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,(Z) 15 and how from infancy(AA) you have known the Holy Scriptures,(AB) which are able to make you wise(AC) for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed(AD) and is useful for teaching,(AE) rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,(AF) 17 so that the servant of God[a](AG) may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.(AH)
