[3:1] But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty.
[3:2] For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
[3:3] heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good,
[3:4] treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
[3:5] having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
[3:6] For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions,
[3:7] always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.
[3:8] Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith.
[3:9] But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.
