“For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,”
For people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy — the sevenfold catalogue of vice diagnoses last-days spirituality: philautoi (self-lovers), philargyri (money-lovers), alazonei (boastful), hyperēphanoi (proud), blasphēmoi (abusive), apeitheis goneusin (disobedient to parents), acharistoi (ungrateful), anosioi (unholy). Internal disorder breeds external transgression.
