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

1 Mark this, there are hard times coming in the last days. 2 For men will be selfish, fond of money, boastful, haughty, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, irreverent, 3 callous, relentless, scurrilous, dissolute, and savage; they will hate goodness, 4 they will be treacherous, reckless and conceited, preferring pleasure to God ??5 for though they keep up a form of religion, they will have nothing to do with it as a force. Avoid all such.

6 Some of them worm their way into families and get hold of the women-folk who feel crushed by the burden of their sins ??wayward creatures of impulse, 7 who are always curious to learn and never able to attain the knowledge of the Truth. 8 For these guides of theirs are hostile to the Truth, just as Jannes and Jambres were hostile to Moses; they are depraved in mind and useless for all purposes of faith. 9 However, they will get no further, for their aberration will be detected by everyone, as was the case with these magicians.
