2 Timothy 3:9

3:9 But they will not go much further, ¹  for their foolishness will be obvious to everyone, just like it was with Jannes and Jambres. ² 

2 Timothy 1:12

1:12 Because of this, in fact, I suffer as I do. ³  But I am not ashamed, because I know the one in whom my faith is set ⁴  and I am convinced that he is able to protect what has been entrusted to me ⁵  until that day. ⁶ 

[3:9]  ¹ tn Grk “for they will not progress any more.”

[3:9]  ² 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.

[1:12]  ³ tn Grk “suffer these things.”

[1:12]  ⁴ tn Or “in whom I have believed.”

[1:12]  ⁵ sn What has been entrusted to me (Grk “my entrustment,” meaning either (1) “what I have entrusted to him” [his life, destiny, etc.] or (2) “what he has entrusted to me” [the truth of the gospel]). The parallel with v. 14 and use of similar words in the pastorals (1 Tim 6:20; 2 Tim 2:2) argue for the latter sense.

[1:12]  ⁶ sn That day is a reference to the day when Paul would stand before Christ to give account for his service (cf. 2 Tim 1:18; 1 Cor 3:13; 2 Cor 5:9-10).
