Perilous Times in the Last Days

1

But know this, that in the last days, grievous times will come.

2

For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3

without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, not lovers of good,

4

traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

5

holding a form of godliness, but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also.

6

For some of these are people who creep into houses, and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,

7

always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

8

Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so do these also oppose the truth; men corrupted in mind, who concerning the faith, are rejected.

9

But they will proceed no further. For their folly will be evident to all men, as theirs also came to be.
