1 But know this, that in the last days difficult times will come,
2 for people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 hardhearted, irreconcilable, slanderous, without self-control, savage, with no interest for what is good,
4 traitors, reckless, conceited, loving pleasure rather than loving God,
5 maintaining a form of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid these people.
6 For from these are those who slip into houses and captivate foolish women loaded down with sins, led by various kinds of desires,
7 always learning and never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.
