2 Timothy 3:7

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 holding to the form of religion but denying its power. Avoid these people!
6 For among them are those who worm their way into households and capture idle women burdened down with sins, led along by a variety of passions,
7 always learning and never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.
8 Just as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so these also resist the truth, men who are corrupt in mind, worthless in regard to the faith.
9 But they will not make further progress, for their lack of understanding will be clear to all, as theirs was also.
