2 Timothy 3:4 Meaning and Commentary

2 Timothy 3:4

Traitors

High, minded;

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.
