Godlessness in the Last Days

Godlessness in the Last Days

3 But understand this, that ^yin the last days there will come times of difficulty. ² For people will be ^zlovers of self, ^alovers of money, ^bproud, ^barrogant, abusive, ^bdisobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, ³ ^cheartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, ^dnot loving good, ⁴ treacherous, reckless, ^eswollen with conceit, ^flovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, ⁵ having the appearance of godliness, but ^gdenying its power. ^hAvoid such people. ⁶ For among them are ⁱthose who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, ⁷ always learning and never able to ^jarrive at a knowledge of the truth. ⁸ Just as ^kJannes and Jambres ^lopposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, ^mmen corrupted in mind and ⁿdisqualified regarding the faith. ⁹ But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, ^oas was that of those two men.
