Evil in the Last Days 1But know this, that in the last days trying times will come.
2For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, revilers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3without natural affection, implacable, false accusers, intemperate, fierce, haters of those who are good,
4traitors, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God,
5having a form of godliness, but denying its power: from these also turn away.
6For of this sort are those who worm themselves into houses, and lead captive silly women that are laden with sins, and influenced by various desires,
7that are always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. All Scripture Is God-Breathed 10But you have fully known my teaching, my course of life, my purpose, my faithfulness, my long-suffering, my love, my patience,
11my persecutions, my sufferings which came upon me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; you well know what persecutions I endured: and yet out of them all, the Lord delivered me.
12And all that will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution.
13But evil men and impostors will become worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. Anderson's New Testament (1865) Digital Text Courtesy TheWord.net Bible Software. Section Headings Courtesy Berean Bible. |
