2 Timothy 3:8-9

3:8 And just as Jannes and Jambres ¹  opposed Moses, so these people – who have warped minds and are disqualified in the faith ²  – also oppose the truth. 3:9 But they will not go much further, ³  for their foolishness will be obvious to everyone, just like it was with Jannes and Jambres. ⁴ 

[3:8]  ¹ 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]  ² tn Grk “disapproved concerning the faith.”

[3:9]  ³ tn Grk “for they will not progress any more.”

[3:9]  ⁴ tn Grk “as theirs came to be,” referring to the foolishness of Jannes and Jambres. The referent of “theirs” (Jannes and Jambres) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
