Timothy 3:1-9 (NIV) But mark this: There will be terrible times
in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers
of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their
parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous,
without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4
treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather
than lovers of God--5 having a form of godliness but denying
its power. Have nothing to do with them. 6 They are the
kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over
weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are
swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never
able to acknowledge the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres
opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth--men of depraved minds, who, as far as
the faith is concerned,
are rejected. 9 But they will not get very far because,
as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to
everyone.
