2 Timothy 3:3

2 Timothy 3:3

Perilous Times and Perilous Men

1 But know this, that ^ain 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,¹ unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,

4 ^atraitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

5 ^ahaving a form of godliness but ^bdenying its power. And ^cfrom such people turn away!

6 For ^aof this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,

truce-breakers—rather as the Greek is translated in Romans 1:31, "implacable."

false accusers—slanderers (I Timothy 3:11; Titus 2:3).

incontinent, fierce—at once both soft and hard: incontinently indulging themselves, and inhuman to others.

despisers, etc.—"no lovers of good" [ALFORD]; the opposite of "a lover of good" (Titus 1:8).
