2 Timothy 3:1-5 (ESV Strong's)
1 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
Paul is speaking of people in a church fellowship who have the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Like a vase used to store water that is dry as a bone. The living waters of the Holy Spirit never filled the container in the first place, or it leaked out faster than it was replenished.
Avoid this personally and avoid such people. Drink from the fountain of life to live.
