But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be ...unforgiving....having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! . . . For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth. —2 TIMOTHY 3:1–5; 4:3–4, EMPHASIS ADDED
