In 2 Timothy 3:3, the nominative plural masculine form describes the people introduced by “They will be” within a list that also includes being unfeeling, irreconcilable, devilish, intemperate, and brutal. The APB renders the list with “hating good,” confirming the clause's portrayal of opposition toward what is good.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In 2 Timothy 3:3, the APB includes “hating good” in its rendering of the list of traits. This shows the clause's presentation rather than a precise word-by-word correspondence.
