4 traditori, temerari, gonfi, amanti del piacere anziché di Dio,

2 Timoteo 3:4 Meaning and Commentary

2 Timothy 3:4

Traitors
To their princes and sovereigns, whose deaths they have contrived and compassed, and whom they have assassinated and murdered; and have been betrayers of the secrets of persons, which they have come at by auricular confession to them; and of their best and nearest friends, to preserve and secure themselves.

Heady;
rash, daring, bold, and impudent, fit to say and do any thing, though ever so vile and wicked.

High, minded;
puffed and swelled up with a vain conceit of themselves, and speaking great swelling words of vanity;

lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God;
lovers of sinful pleasures, or the pleasures of sin, which are but for a season, and not God; serving divers lusts and pleasures, and not God; making a god of their belly; sensual idolaters, delighting themselves in their carnal lusts, and not in the service of God.

2 Timoteo 3:4 In-Context

2 perché gli uomini saranno egoisti, amanti del denaro, vanagloriosi, superbi, bestemmiatori, disubbidienti ai genitori, ingrati, irreligiosi,

3 senz’affezione naturale, mancatori di fede, calunniatori, intemperanti, spietati, senza amore per il bene,

4 traditori, temerari, gonfi, amanti del piacere anziché di Dio,

5 aventi le forme della pietà, ma avendone rinnegata la potenza.

6 Anche costoro schiva! Poiché del numero di costoro son quelli che s’insinuano nelle case e cattivano donnicciuole cariche di peccati, agitate da varie cupidigie,
