2 Timothy 3:1-9 - Difficult Times Ahead In The Last Days

¹ Understand this, that in the last days there are going to be hard times. ² People will be selfish, avaricious, boastful, arrogant, abusive, undutiful, ungrateful, irreverent, ³ unfeeling, irreconcilable, slanderous, with no self-control, brutal, with no love for what is good, ⁴ treacherous, reckless, conceited, caring more for pleasure than for God, ⁵ keeping up the forms of religion, but resisting its influence. Avoid such people.

⁶ They are the kind of men who make their way into people's houses and make captives of poor, weak women, loaded down with their sins and under the control of all sorts of impulses, ⁷ always ready to learn but never able to comprehend the truth. ⁸ Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, these people in turn oppose the truth; they are men of depraved minds and counterfeit faith. ⁹ But they will not make much progress, for everyone will perceive their folly, just as they did that of those others.
