In verses 2 Timothy 3:1–9, Paul speaks of difficult times in the last days (2 Timothy 3:1). As used in this passage, Paul does not mean the “end times,” or some period in the future. The “last days” as used here is what is commonly called “the church age,” the era of Christianity in the world which continues through today. Paul particularly warns Timothy—the recipient of this letter—not to associate with the people he is describing. After noting the characteristics of evil people, Timothy is told to avoid such people (2 Timothy 3:2–5). Those who act like this are deceived (2 Timothy 3:6–7). This warning is also for us today.
Additional scriptures referenced include Romans 12:3; Revelation 2:1-4; Romans 16:17; 1 Timothy 6:20; 2 Timothy 2:16; Exodus 7:11, 22; and Exodus 8:7, 18.
