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

2 Timothy 3:7 Meaning and Commentary

2 Timothy 3:7

Ever learning
Some new notion and practice or another: and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth; partly because of the teachers, which they heap up to themselves, who are unapt to teach, are blind and ignorant guides, and know not the truth, but are enemies to it, and resist it; and partly because of themselves, the sins they are laden, and the lusts they are led away with, which hinder them from coming to the knowledge of the truth.

2 Timothy 3:7 In-Context

5 maintaining a form of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid these [people].
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} 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.
