2 Tim 3:1-7 This know also, that in the last days perilous
times shall come. {2} For men shall be lovers of their own
selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to
parents, unthankful, unholy, {3} Without natural affection,
trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers
of those that are good, {4} Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers
of pleasures more than lovers of God; {5} Having a form of
godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
{6} For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead
captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers
lusts, {7} Ever learning, and never able to come to the
knowledge of the truth.
2 Tim 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and
worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
2 Pet 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people,
even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily
shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that
bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. {2}
And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom
the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. {3} And through
covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of
you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their
damnation slumbereth not. {4} For if God spared not the angels
that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them
into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; {5} And
spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a
preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world
of the ungodly; {6} And turning the cities of Sodom and
Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making
them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; {7}
And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of
the wicked: {8} (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in
seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day
with their unlawful deeds;) {9} The Lord knoweth how to deliver
the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto
the day of judgment to be punished: {10} But chiefly them that
walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise
government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not
afraid to speak evil of dignities. {12} But these, as natural
brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the
things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in
their own corruption; {13} And shall receive the reward of
unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the
day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves
with their own deceivings while they feast with you; {14}
Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin;
beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with
covetous practices; cursed children: {15} Which have forsaken
the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam
the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; {17}
These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a
tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
{18} For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they
allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness,
those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. {19}
While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the
servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the
same is he brought in bondage. {20} For if after they have
escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of
the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled
therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than
the beginning. {21} For it had been better for them not to have
known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it,
to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. {22} But
it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog
is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed
to her wallowing in the mire.
1 Tim 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the
latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to
seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; {2} Speaking lies in
hyprocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron: {3}
Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats,
which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them
which believe and know the truth.
2 Tim 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure
sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to
themselves teachers, having itching ears; {4} And they shall
turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto
fables.
Jude 1:4-19 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who
were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men,
turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying
the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. {5} I will
therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how
that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of
Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. {6} And the
angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own
habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under
darkness unto the judgment of the great day. {7} Even as Sodom
and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving
themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh,
are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of
eternal fire. {8} Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile
the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. {9}
Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he
disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a
railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. {10} But
these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what
they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they
corrupt themselves. {11} Woe unto them! for they have gone in
the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for
reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. {12} These are
spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you,
feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water,
carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without
fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; {13} Raging waves
of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to
whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. {14} And
Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying,
Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, {15}
To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are
ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have
ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly
sinners have spoken against him. {16} These are murmurers,
complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth
speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in
admiration because of advantage. {17} But, beloved, remember ye
the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord
Jesus Christ; {18} How that they told you there should be
mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own
ungodly lusts. {19} These be they who separate themselves,
sensual, having not the Spirit.
