From Such People Turn Away!

Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:1-9

"And from such people turn away" (2 Timothy 3:5). To "turn away" is to shun (Thayer's). 2 Timothy 3:1-9 lists a number of folks we are to avoid (Strong's).

1. Lovers of themselves
2. Lovers of money
3. Boasters
4. Proud
5. Blasphemers
6. Disobedient to parents
7. Unthankful
8. Unholy
9. Unloving
10.Unforgiving
11. Slanderers
12. Without self-control
13. Brutal
14. Despisers of good
15. Traitors
16. Headstrong
17. Haughty
18. Lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God
19. Having a form of godliness but denying its power

Why are we to avoid these people?

1. For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts...
2. They are always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth...
3. They resist the truth...
4. These will progress no further...
