2 Timothy 3:6-8

3:6 For some of these insinuate themselves ¹  into households and captivate weak women ²  who are overwhelmed with sins and led along by various passions. 3:7 Such women are always seeking instruction, ³  yet never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. 3:8 And just as Jannes and Jambres ⁴  opposed Moses, so these people – who have warped minds and are disqualified in the faith ⁵  – also oppose the truth.

[3:6]  ¹ tn Grk “For from these are those who sneak.”

[3:6]  ² tn Or “silly women.”

[3:7]  ³ 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.

[3:8]  ⁵ sn Jannes and Jambres were the traditional names of two of Pharaoh’s magicians who opposed Moses at the time of the Exodus.

[3:8]  ⁶ tn Grk “disapproved concerning the faith.”
