After stating that many would be lovers of themselves and of money, Paul wrote that people would also be boastful, haughty, and puffed up with pride, traits that often reflect a feeling of superiority because of one’s abilities, appearance, wealth, or rank.
وَأَشْخَاصٌ كَهٰؤُلَاءِ يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّهُمْ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ غَيْرِهِمْ بِسَبَبِ مَهَارَاتِهِمْ ،‏ شَكْلِهِمْ ،‏ ثَرْوَتِهِمْ ،‏ أَوْ مَرْكَزِهِمِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِيِّ .‏
