6 For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. - - II Timothy 3:6 II Timothy 3:6- -7 7

8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith. 9 But they will not make further progress; for their folly will be obvious to all, just as Jannes s and Jambres s folly was also. - - II Timothy 3:8 II Timothy 3:8- -9 9

12 Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. 13 But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. - - II Timothy 3:12 II Timothy 3:12- -13 13
