2 Timothy 3:1-9

1But understand this, that in the last days difficult times will come.

2For people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,

3unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, savage, opposed to what is good,

4treacherous, reckless, conceited, loving pleasure rather than loving God.

5They will maintain the outward appearance of religion but will have repudiated its power. So avoid people like these.

6For some of these insinuate themselves into households and captivate weak women who are overwhelmed with sins and led along by various passions.

7Such women are always seeking instruction, yet never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.

8And just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these people – who have warped minds and are disqualified in the faith – also oppose the truth.

9But they will not go much further, for their foolishness will be obvious to everyone, just like it was with Jannes and Jambres.
