truth-----------------------------                                                                                                                                                                               1 But of this be assured: in the last days grievous times will set in. 2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, profane. They will be disobedient to parents, thankless, irreligious, 3 destitute of natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers. They will have no self-control, but will be brutal, opposed to goodness, 4 treacherous, headstrong, self-important. They will love pleasure instead of loving God, 5 and will keep up a make-believe of piety and yet live in defiance of its power. Turn away from people of this sort. 6 Among them are included the men who make their way into private houses and carry off weak women as their prisoners--women who, weighed down by the burden of their sins, are led by ever-changing caprice, 7 and are always learning something new, and yet are never able to arrive at real knowledge of the truth. 2nd Timothy 3:1-7 Weymouth translation NT because of the ME/Amos 8:11, ,the ruin of as it was written.
