2 Timothy 3:3

1 But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come.

2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,

unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good,

4 traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these!

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
