Notes
such as these: These people rejected good teaching. They denied the power that could make them live as God desires (3:2–4; see 1 Timothy 1:5–11; Colossians 2:16–23).
Paul explains how people will behave in the last days, which had already started (see also 1 Timothy 4:1–5; 2 Peter 2:1–22; 3:3; Jude 1:18; 2 Timothy 3:5, 6–9).
Timothy must remain focused during the difficult times ahead.
