last days

 This is Paul writing to Timothy, his son that he "come by"

2 Timothy is Paul's "goodbye letter" to Timothy. 

Paul wrote in it prison in Rome, shortly before Paul was executed.

2 Timothy 3 

1 You should know this, Timothy, 

that in the last days there will be very difficult times. 

2 For people will love only themselves 

and their money. 

They will be boastful 

and proud, 

scoffing at God, 

disobedient to their parents, 

and ungrateful. 

They will consider nothing sacred. 

3 They will be unloving 

and unforgiving; 

they will slander others 

and have no self-control. 

They will be cruel 

and hate what is good. 

4 They will betray their friends, 

be reckless, 

be puffed up with pride, 

and love pleasure rather than God. 

5 They will act religious, 

but they will reject the power that could make them godly. 

Stay away from people like that!
