_ _ heady — precipitate in action and in passion.

_ _ high-minded — literally, “puffed up” with pride, as with smoke blinding them.

_ _ lovers of pleasure ... God — Love of pleasure destroys the love and sense of God.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Timothy 3:1-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Timothy 3:4

Lovers of sensual pleasure — Which naturally extinguishes all love and sense of God.
