by Brian Simmons

3But you need to be aware that in the final days the culture of society will become extremely fierce. 2People will be self-centered lovers of them-selvesa and obsessed with money. They will boast of great things as they strut around in their arrogant pride and mock all that is right. They will ignore their own families.b They will be ungratefulc and ungodly. 3They will become addicted to hateful and malicious slander.d Slaves to their desires, they will be ferocious, belligerent haters of what is good and right. 4With brutal treachery, they will act without restraint, bigoted and wrapped in clouds of their conceit. They will find their delight in the pleasures of this world more than the pleasures of the loving God. 5They may pretend to have a respect for God, but in reality they want nothing to do with God’s power. Stay away from people like these!
