Paul’s Letters

What were Paul’s concerns about the end times?

Paul wrote to Timothy that people would be on their worst behavior. “For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection trucebreakers false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.” (KJV, II Timothy 3:2–4) Paul added, “For the time will come when they not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears.” (KJV, II Timothy 4:3)
