2 Timothy 3:7

7 Ever learning, and never attaining to the 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 Having an appearance indeed of godliness but denying the power thereof. Now these avoid.

6 For of these sort are they who creep into houses and lead captive silly women laden with sins, who are led away with divers desires:

7 Ever learning, and never attaining to the knowledge of the truth.

8 Now as Jannes and Mambres resisted Moses, so these also resist the truth, men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.

9 But they shall proceed no farther: for their folly shall be manifest to all men, as theirs also was.
