2 Timothy 3:4

4 They will be people who are disloyal, reckless, and conceited. They will love pleasure instead of loving God.

2 Timothy 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 Timothy 3:4 In-Context

2 People will be selfish and love money. They will be the kind of people who brag and who are proud. They will slander others, and they will be disobedient to their parents. They will be ungrateful, unholy,

3 unloving, contrary, and critical. They will be without self-control and brutal, and they won't love what is good.

4 They will be people who are disloyal, reckless, and conceited. They will love pleasure instead of loving God.

5 They will look like they are religious but deny God's power. Avoid people like this.

6 Some will slither into households and control immature women who are burdened with sins and driven by all kinds of desires.
