2 Timothy 3:8 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Timothy 3:8

6 For ^aof this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,

7 always learning and never able ^ato come to the knowledge of the truth.

8 ^aNow as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: ^bmen of corrupt minds, ^cdisapproved concerning the faith;

9 but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, ^aas theirs also was.

The Man of God and the Word of God

10 ^aBut you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance,

11 persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me ^aat Antioch, ^bat Iconium, ^cat Lystra—what persecutions I endured. And ^dout of them all the Lord delivered me.

12 Yes, and ^aall who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

13 ^aBut evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

14 But you must ^acontinue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them,

15 and that from childhood you have known ^athe Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16 ^aAll Scripture is given by inspiration of God, ^band is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for¹ instruction in righteousness,
