2 Timothy 3:6-9
New English Translation

6 For some of these insinuate themselves[a] into households and captivate weak women[b] who are overwhelmed with sins and led along by various passions. 7 Such women are always seeking instruction,[c] yet never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. 8 And just as Jannes and Jambres[d] opposed Moses, so these people—who have warped minds and are disqualified in the faith[e]—also oppose the truth. 9 But they will not go much further,[f] for their foolishness will be obvious to everyone, just like it was with Jannes and Jambres.[g]

Lexham English Bible

6 For from these are those who slip into houses and captivate foolish women loaded down with sins, led by various kinds of desires, 7 always learning and never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. 8 And just as[a] Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these oppose the truth, people corrupted in mind, disqualified concerning the faith. 9 But they will not progress to a greater extent, for their folly will be quite evident to everyone, as also the folly of those two was.
