2 Corinthians 12:20-21

20 For I fear that perhaps ^awhen I come I may find you not as I wish, and that you may find me not as you wish—that perhaps there may be quarreling, jealousy, anger, hostility, slander, gossip, conceit, and disorder. 21 I fear that when I come again my God may humble me before you, and I may have to mourn over many of those ^bwho sinned earlier and have not repented of the impurity, ^csexual immorality, and sensuality that they have practiced.

Galatians 2:4

4 ^dYet because of false brothers secretly brought in—who ^eslipped in to spy out ^four freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, ^gso that they might bring us into slavery—

2 Timothy 3:2-5

2 For people will be ^hlovers of self, ⁱlovers of money, ^jproud, ^karrogant, abusive, ^ldisobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 ^mheartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, ⁿnot loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, ^oswollen with conceit, ^plovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but ^qdenying its power. ^rAvoid such people.

2 Timothy 4:3-4

3 ^sFor the time is coming when people will not endure ^tsound ^{▼▼Or healthy} teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and ^vwill turn away from listening to the truth and ^wwander off into myths.

Titus 1:9-11

9 He must ^xhold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in ^ysound ^{▼▼Or healthy; also verse 13} doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.

10 For there are many who are insubordinate, ^aaempty talkers and deceivers, especially those of ^abthe circumcision party. ^{▼▼Or especially those of the circumcision} 11 They must be silenced, since ^adthey are upsetting whole families by teaching ^aefor shameful gain what they ought not to teach.
