7Ever learning, and never coming to the knowledge of what is true.
8And 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.
9But they will go no farther: for their foolish behaviour will be clear to all men, as theirs was in the end.
10But you took as your example my teaching, behaviour, purpose, and faith; my long waiting, my love, my quiet undergoing of trouble;
11My punishments and pain; the things which came to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; the cruel attacks made on me: and the Lord made me free from them all.
12Yes, and all whose purpose is to be living in the knowledge of God in Christ Jesus, will be cruelly attacked.
13Evil and false men will become worse and worse, using deceit and themselves overcome by deceit.
