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
