1 I WOULD have you know this, that in the last days trying times will come;

2 for people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boasters, haughty, abusive, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, profane,

3 without family affection, relentless, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,

4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.

5 They will have a form of religion, but will cast off its power. Avoid such people.
