2 Timothy 3:3 - Forerunner Commentary

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,

7 always learning and never able ^ato come to the knowledge of the truth.
