But know this, that in the last days hard times shall come.
(2Ti 3:1 The Scriptures 1998+)For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, thankless, wrong-doers,
(2Ti 3:2 The Scriptures 1998+)unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, haters of good,
(2Ti 3:3 The Scriptures 1998+)betrayers, reckless, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of Elohim,
(2Ti 3:4 The Scriptures 1998+)having a form of reverence1 but denying its power. And turn away from these!
