2 Timothy 3:1-5

2 Timothy 3:1-5
Have nothing to do with such people

1 But mark this:
There will be terrible times in the last days.

2 People will be lovers of themselves,
lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive,
disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,

3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous,
without self-control, brutal,
not lovers of the good,

4 treacherous, rash, conceited,
lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

5 having a form of godliness
but denying its power.
Have nothing to do with such people.

a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him.

25 May your father and mother rejoice;
may she who gave you birth be joyful!

Children of righteous parents will be righteous
if they follow their wisdom and do not neglect it.
