2 Timothy 3:1-7 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.
