'People' in the Bible

And entrust what you heard me say in the presence of many others as witnesses to faithful people who will be competent to teach others as well.

Remind people of these things and solemnly charge them before the Lord not to wrangle over words. This is of no benefit; it just brings ruin on those who listen.

For people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,

They will maintain the outward appearance of religion but will have repudiated its power. So avoid people like these.

And just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these people -- who have warped minds and are disqualified in the faith -- also oppose the truth.

But evil people and charlatans will go from bad to worse, deceiving others and being deceived themselves.

For there will be a time when people will not tolerate sound teaching. Instead, following their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves, because they have an insatiable curiosity to hear new things.
