2 Timotheus 4:4 Meaning and Commentary

2 Timothy 4:4

And they shall turn away their ears from the truth
The solid truths of the Gospel, not being able to bear the hearing of them:

and shall be turned unto fables;
things idle, trifling, useless, and, unprofitable; and which are no better than old wives' fables; some respect may be had either to Jewish fables, or to the miraculous mythologies of the Gentiles, or of the Gnostics, and others: but in general, it includes everything that is vain, empty, and senseless; and this is to be considered as a just judgment upon them; that since they like not to retain the knowledge of the truth, but turn away their ears from it, God gives them up to a reprobate mind, a mind void of sense and judgment, to attend to things idle and fabulous.

2 Timotheus 4:4 In-Context

2 Predige das Wort, halte darauf in gelegener und ungelegener Zeit; überführe, strafe, ermahne mit aller Langmut und Lehre.
3 Denn es wird eine Zeit sein, da sie die gesunde Lehre nicht ertragen, sondern nach ihren eigenen Lüsten sich selbst Lehrer aufhäufen werden, indem es ihnen in den Ohren kitzelt;
4 und sie werden die Ohren von der Wahrheit abkehren und zu den Fabeln sich hinwenden.
5 Du aber sei nüchtern in allem, leide Trübsal, tue das Werk eines Evangelisten, vollführe deinen Dienst.
6 Denn ich werde schon als Trankopfer gesprengt, und die Zeit meines Abscheidens ist vorhanden.
