1 But be certain of this, that in the last days times of trouble will come.

2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, uplifted in pride, given to bitter words, going against the authority of their fathers, never giving praise, having no religion,

3 Without natural love, bitter haters, saying evil of others, violent and uncontrolled, hating all good,

4 False to their friends, acting without thought, lifted up in mind, loving pleasure more than God;

5 Having a form of religion, but turning their backs on the power of it: go not with these.

1 Sabe, porém, isto, que nos últimos dias virão tempos difíceis;

2 pois os homens serão amantes de si mesmos, avarentos, pretenciosos, soberbos, maldizentes, desobedientes a seus pais, ingratos, ímpios,

3 sem afeição natural, implacáveis, caluniadores, incontinentes, cruéis, inimigos do bem,

4 traidores, insolentes, presunçosos, amando mais os prazeres do que a Deus,

5 tendo a aparência de piedade, porém negando o poder dela. Foge também destes homens.
