2 Timothy3:2

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves , covetous , boasters , proud , blasphemers disobedient to parents , unthankful , unholy .

That is, the generality of men shall be persons that will neither love God, nor men, in comparison with themselves; Charity which seeketh not her own shall wax cold, men shall be wholly for themselves.

Lovers of Silver immoderately so as they will get it any way, and when they have it will be as sordidly tenacious of it.

Vaunting of themselves, vain-glorious, boasting of what they have not.

Lifted up in an opinion of themselves.

Speaking evil of God and Men.

Stubborn and Rebellious against those that bare them.

Unthankful both to God and men for kindnesses received from either.

Prophane and impure.
