2 Timothy 3:1-9 (Epistle)

1
But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:
2
For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3
unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,
4
traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5
having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!
6
For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,
7
always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8
Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith;
9
but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.
