2 Timothy 3:4 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

OLBGrk;

Traitors; prodotai signifies the betraying of any trust, or a falsehood to any person to whom we are obliged. It is in Scripture applied to Judas, Luke 6:16, and to the Jews that crucified Christ, Acts 7:52. The verb whence it derives is by authors applied to persons, places, and causes: it signifies that in the latter times there should be a general falsehood amongst men; see Matthew 10:21; falsehood towards their superiors, their relation, profession, &c. Heady; rash, inconsiderate. High-minded; blown up as bladders with an opinion of their own deserts. Lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; voluptuous men, not using what God hath given them with a moderate satisfaction and delight in them, but contrary to God's commandments, and thereby showing that they have more love for the gratification of their sensitive appetite than the pleasing of God.
