2 Timothy 3:8
II Timothy 3:8 As Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses. These were the traditional names of the Egyptian magicians who opposed Moses. See Exodus 7:11. Paul adopts these names in referring to them. As these opposed Moses, so do the false teachers just described oppose the truth. These names are found in a Jewish Targum on Exodus 7:11 22:11. Reprobate concerning the faith. Have abandoned the faith.
