2 Timothy 3:5-7

Context
3:5 They will maintain the outward appearance 1  of religion but will have repudiated its power. So avoid people like these. 2  3:6 For some of these insinuate themselves 3  into households and captivate weak women 4  who are overwhelmed with sins and led along by various passions. 3:7 Such women are always seeking instruction, 5  yet never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.

1 tn Or “form.”

sn Outward appearance. Paul’s contrast with power in 3:5b shows that he regards this “form” to be outward, one of appearance rather than reality (cf. 1 Cor 4:19-20; 1 Thess 1:5).

2 tn Grk “and avoid these,” with the word “people” implied.

3 tn Grk “For from these are those who sneak.”

4 tn Or “silly women.”

5 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.
