2 Timothy 3:2 Douay-Rheims

Men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, haughty, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked,

Augustine of Hippo

A.D. 354–430 Patristic

Since I have already given an example of love [amor] used in a good sense, someone may want an example of the same word used in a bad sense. If so, let him read the text, "Men will be lovers [amantes] of self, covetous [amatores pecuniae]."
