2 Timothy 3:1-7

Tree of Life Version

Opposition in the Last Days

3 But understand this, that in the last days^[a] hard times will come— ² for people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, ³ hardhearted, unforgiving, backbiting, without self-control, brutal, hating what is good, ⁴ treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, ⁵ holding to an outward form of godliness but denying its power. Avoid these people! ⁶ For among these are those who slip into households and deceive weak women weighed down with sins, led away by various desires, ⁷ always learning yet never able to come to the knowledge of truth.
