2 Timothy 3:1-7

Godlessness in the Last Days

1But understand this, that ain the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2For people will be blovers of self, clovers of money, dproud, earrogant, abusive, fdisobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 gheartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, hnot loving good, 4treacherous, reckless, iswollen with conceit, jlovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5having the appearance of godliness, but kdenying its power. lAvoid such people. 6For among them are mthose who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, 7always learning and never able to narrive at a knowledge of the truth.

2 Timothy 4:3

3 oFor the time is coming when people will not endure psound
Or healthy
teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,

Titus 1:11

11They must be silenced, since rthey are upsetting whole families by teaching sfor shameful gain what they ought not to teach.

2 Peter 2:1-3

False Prophets and Teachers

1But tfalse prophets also arose among the people, ujust as there will be false teachers among you, who will vsecretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master wwho bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth xwill be blasphemed. 3And yin their greed they will exploit you zwith false words. aaTheir condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

2 Peter 2:18-19

18For, abspeaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely acescaping from those who live in error. 19They promise them adfreedom, aebut they themselves are slaves
Greek bondservants
of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved.

1 John 2:18-19

Warning Concerning Antichrists

18Children, agit is the last hour, and as you have heard that ahantichrist is coming, so now aimany antichrists have come. ajTherefore we know that it is the last hour. 19 akThey went out from us, but they were not of us; for alif they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, amthat it might become plain that they all are not of us.

1 John 4:1
