But evil people and impostors will flourish. They will deceive others and will themselves be deceived.
But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,
But you must remain faithful to the things you have been taught. You know they are true, for you know you can trust those who taught you.
