"Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith" (1 Timothy 4:1a) "Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They won't listen to what the Bible says but will blithely follow their own misguided ideas. But you must stay calm and be willing to suffer. You must work hard to tell the good news and fully carry out the ministry God has given you." (2 Timothy 4:2-5)
