2 Timothy 3:1-7

1 But know thou this thing, that in the last days perilous times shall approach [shall nigh],
2 and men shall be loving themselves, covetous, high of bearing, proud, blasphemers, not obedient to father and mother, unkind, cursed,
3 without affection, without peace, false blamers, uncontinent, unmild, without benignity, [+without affection, or good will, without peace, false challengers, uncontinent, or unchaste, unmild, without benignity,]
4 traitors, over-thwart [froward], swollen with proud thoughts [blown], blind, lovers of lusts more than of God,
5 having the likeness of piety, but denying the virtue of it. And eschew thou these men.
6 Of these they be that pierce houses, and lead women captives [and lead little women captive] charged with sins, which be led with diverse desires,
7 evermore learning, and never perfectly coming to the science of truth. [evermore learning, and never perfectly coming to the knowing of truth.]
