2 Timothy 3:2
_ _ men — in the professing Church. Compare the catalogue, Romans 1:29, etc., where much the same sins are attributed to heathen men; it shall be a relapse into virtual heathendom, with all its beast-like propensities, whence the symbol of it is “a beast” (Revelation 13:1, Revelation 13:11, Revelation 13:12, etc.; Revelation 17:3, Revelation 17:8, Revelation 17:11).
_ _ covetous — Translate, “money-loving,” a distinct Greek word from that for “covetous” (see on Colossians 3:5). The cognate Greek substantive (1 Timothy 6:10) is so translated, “the love of money is a (Greek, not ‘the’) root of all evil.”
_ _ boasters — empty boasters [Alford]; boasting of having what they have not.
_ _ proud — overweening: literally, showing themselves above their fellows.
_ _ blasphemous — rather, “evil-speakers,” revilers.
_ _ disobedient to parents — The character of the times is even to be gathered especially from the manners of the young [Bengel].
_ _ unthankful — The obligation to gratitude is next to that of obedience to parents.
_ _ unholy — irreligious [Alford]; inobservant of the offices of piety. |
2 Timothy 3:2
For men — Even in the church. Will be — In great numbers, and to an higher degree than ever. Lovers of themselves — Only, not their neighbours, the first root of evil. Lovers of money — The second. |
2 Timothy 3:2
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, (a) unholy,
(a) Who make no account, either of right or honesty. |
