²People will love themselves. They will love money. They will brag and be proud. They will tear others down. They will not obey their parents. They won’t be thankful or holy. ³They won’t love others. They won’t forgive others. They will tell lies about people. They will be out of control. They will be wild. They will hate what is good.

⁴They will turn against their friends. They will act without thinking. They will think they are better than others. They will love what pleases them instead of loving God. ⁵They will act as if they were serving God. But what they do will show that they have turned their backs on God’s power. Have nothing to do with those people.

⁶They are the kind who worm their way into the homes of silly women. They get control over them. Women like that are loaded down with sins. They give in to all kinds of evil longings. ⁷They are always learning. But they never come to know the truth.

⁸Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses. In the same way, the teachers I’m talking about oppose the truth. Their minds are twisted. As far as the faith is concerned, God doesn’t accept them. ⁹They won’t get very far. Just like Jannes and Jambres, their foolish ways will be clear to everyone.
