Paul says that at that
time, things will be dangerous because Òmen
will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful,
arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable,
malicious gossips, without self-control,
brutal, haters of good, treacherous,
reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather
than lovers of God; holding to a form of godliness,
although they have denied its power.Ó
(2 Timothy 3:1-7)
