Footnotes

  1. 2 Grk “men”; but here ἄνθρωποι (anthrōpoi) is generic, referring to both men and women.
  2. 3 Or “self-centered.” The first two traits in 2 Tim 3:2 and the last two in 3:4 are Greek words beginning with the root “lovers of,” and so bracket the list at beginning and end.

They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God.
