Bible verses about "america" | AUV

¹⁶ As servants of God, you should live as free people, but do not use this freedom to cover up your wrongdoing.

¹ But you should know this: There will be terrible times in the last days [of the Christian age]. ² For people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive talkers, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, ³ lacking in natural affection, unwilling to be reconciled [to their enemies], slanderers, lacking self-control, brutal, haters of what is good, ⁴ treacherous [i.e., betrayers], reckless, conceited, [and] lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. ⁵ [These people] maintain an appearance of being godly, but they have denied its power; [you should] turn away from such people.
