Scripture Meditation: Godlessness In The Last Days

2 Timothy - Chapter 3 - Verses 1 - 9.

Godlessness In The Last Days

1. But mark this: There will be terrible
times in the last days.

2. People will be lovers of themselves,
lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive,
disobedient to their parents, ungrateful,
unholy,

3. Without love, unforgiving, slanderous,
without self-control, brutal, not lovers of
the good,

4. Treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of
pleasure rather than lovers of God--

5. Having a form of godliness but denying
its power. Have nothing to do with them.

6. They are the kind who worm their way
into homes and gain control over weak-
willed women*, who are loaded down with
sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil
desires,

7. Always learning but never able to
acknowledge the truth.

8. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed
Moses, so also these men oppose the
truth--men of depraved minds, who,
as far as the faith is concerned, are
rejected.

9. But they will not get very far
because, as in the case of those men,
their folly will be clear to everyone.
