Perilous Times in the Last Days

1

Know also this, that in the last days shall come dangerous times.

2

Men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, haughty, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked,

3

Without affection, without peace, slanderers, incontinent, unmerciful, without kindness,

4

Traitors, stubborn, puffed up, and lovers of pleasure more than of God:

5

Having an appearance indeed of godliness but denying the power thereof. Now these avoid.

6

For of these sort are they who creep into houses and lead captive silly women laden with sins, who are led away with divers desires:

7

Ever learning, and never attaining to the knowledge of the truth.

8

Now as Jannes and Mambres resisted Moses, so these also resist the truth, men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.

9

But they shall proceed no farther: for their folly shall be manifest to all men, as theirs also was.
