2 Timothy 3:7

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

2 Timothy 4:4

4:4 And they will turn away from hearing the truth, but on the other hand they will turn aside to myths.

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.

sn These myths were legendary tales characteristic of the false teachers in Ephesus and Crete. See parallels in 1 Tim 1:4; 4:7; and Titus 1:14.
