2 Timothy 3:1-9

Godlessness in the Last Days

1 But understand this, that ^ain the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 For 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, 4 treacherous, reckless, ⁱswollen with conceit, ^jlovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but ^kdenying its power. ^lAvoid such people. 6 For among them are ^mthose who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, 7 always learning and never able to ⁿarrive at a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as ^oJannes and Jambres ^popposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, ^qmen corrupted in mind and ^rdisqualified regarding the faith. 9 But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, ^sas was that of those two men.
