1 But of this be assured: in the last days grievous times will set in.
2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, profane. They will be disobedient to parents, thankless, irreligious,
3 destitute of natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers. They will have no self-control, but will be brutal, opposed to goodness,
4 treacherous, headstrong, self-important. They will love pleasure instead of loving God,
5 and will keep up a make-believe of piety and yet live in defiance of its power. Turn away from people of this sort.
