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 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.

⁵ tn Grk “disapproved concerning the faith.”
