2 Timothy 31-7 This know also, that in the last
days perilous times shall come. For men shall be
lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters,
proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection,
trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent,
fierce, despisers of those that are good,
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures
more than lovers of God Having a form of
godliness, but denying the power thereof from
such turn away. For of this sort are they which
creep into houses, and lead captive silly women
laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever
learning, and never able to come to the knowledge
of the truth.
