2 Timothy 3:6-9
New American Standard Bible
6 For among them are those who [a](A)slip into households and captivate [b](B)weak women weighed down with sins, led on by (C)various impulses, 7 always learning and never able to (D)come to the [c]knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as (E)Jannes and Jambres (F)opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, (G)men of depraved mind, [d]worthless in regard to the faith. 9 But they will not make further progress; for their (H)foolishness will be obvious to all, just (I)as was that also of [e]Jannes and Jambres.

2 Timothy 3:6-9
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
For They Deceive The Ignorant And Oppose The Truth
6 For from these are the ones creeping into the houses and taking-captive little-women[a]— women having been heaped with sins, being led by various desires, 7 always learning and never being able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 And the way Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, in this manner these also oppose the truth— people having been corrupted as to the mind, disapproved with respect to the faith. 9 But they will not advance further, for their folly will be very-evident to everyone, as also the folly of those two came-to-be[b].
