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]
