2 Timothy 3:1-9

Difficult Times Will Come
3 But know this, that (A)in the last days difficult times will come. 2 For men will be (B)lovers of self, (C)lovers of money, (D)boastful, (E)arrogant, (F)blasphemers, (G)disobedient to parents, (H)ungrateful, (I)unholy, 3 (J)unloving, irreconcilable, [a](K)malicious gossips, without self-control, without gentleness, (L)without love for good, 4 (M)treacherous, (N)reckless, (O)conceited, (P)lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 holding to a form of [b](Q)godliness, but having (R)denied its power. (S)Keep away from such men as these. 6 For among them are those who [c](T)enter into households and take captive [d](U)weak women weighed down with sins, being led on by (V)various desires, 7 always learning and never able to (W)come to the [e]full knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as (X)Jannes and Jambres (Y)opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, (Z)men of depraved mind, disqualified in regard to the faith. 9 But they will not make further progress, for their (AA)folly will be obvious to all, just (AB)as theirs was also.
