Traitors.

Or, “betrayers.”

Heady.

Gr. propeteis, “rash,” “reckless,” translated “rashly” in Acts 19:36.

Highminded.

Or, “blinded by pride” (see on 1 Tim. 6:4).

Lovers of pleasures.

Those who love “their own selves” (v. 2) will naturally seek the narcotic of pleasure rather than comply with the holy demands of God’s way of life.

More than.

More precisely, “rather than,” that is, these people are controlled by a love for pleasure rather than a love for God. Such a description may apply to members and nonchurch members alike.
