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 an, es sei zu rechter Zeit oder zur Unzeit; strafe, drohe, ermahne mit aller Geduld und Lehre.
3 Denn es wird eine Zeit sein, da sie die heilsame Lehre nicht leiden werden; sondern nach ihren eigenen Lüsten werden sie sich selbst Lehrer aufladen, nach dem ihnen die Ohren jucken,
4 und werden die Ohren von der Wahrheit wenden und sich zu Fabeln kehren.
5 Du aber sei nüchtern allenthalben, sei willig, zu leiden, tue das Werk eines evangelischen Predigers, richte dein Amt redlich aus.
6 Denn ich werde schon geopfert, und die Zeit meines Abscheidens ist vorhanden.
