Matthew 24:12

[Lack of love:]
Because of the increasing lawlessness (opposition to the law, relativism where there is no right or wrong), selfless, giving love will grow cold (gradually cool down, be blown out) in most people (literally 'the many', the majority).
[The word for 'grow cold' means to breathe and blow and gradually cool something down. The love probably refers to love for God, but also includes a growing lovelessness in the world. Paul describes how people are becoming more and more heartless, self-centered, and money-loving in 2 Tim 3:1–3. The expression "the many" may refer to "all people" in verse 9 or "many" who previously believed, see verse 10.]
