Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Know That Difficult Times Will Come, And Turn Away From The Ungodly
3 But know this— that during the last days difficult[a] times will be present. 2 For the people will be self-lovers, money-lovers, boasters, proud, blasphemous, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 unaffectionate, unreconcilable[b], slanderous, without-self-control, untamed[c], not-lovers-of-good, 4 traitors, reckless, having become conceited, pleasure-lovers rather than God-lovers, 5 holding a form of godliness but having denied the power of it. Indeed, be turning-away-from these ones.
