2 Timothy 1:11

1:11 For this gospel I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher.

2 Timothy 3:7

3:7 Such women are always seeking instruction, yet never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.

tn Grk “for which.”

tc Most mss (א2 C D F G Ψ 1739 1881 Ï latt sy co) have ἐθνῶν (eqnwn, “of the Gentiles”) after “teacher.” The shorter reading has poorer external credentials (א* A I 1175 pc), but is preferred because ἐθνῶν probably represents a gloss added by copyists familiar with 1 Tim 2:7. There is no easy explanation for the omission of the word if it were original here.

tn Grk “always learning,” continuing the description of the women from v. 6. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
