Timotiyos II 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.

Timotiyos II 3:7 In-Context

5 Having an outward form of chasidus but the ko’ach having denied. Turn away from these.

6 For of such are the morim entering into homes and capturing weak-willed nashim laden with chatta’im, led away by various ta’avot,

7 Always learning but never being able to come to da’as HaEmes.

8 As Jannes and Jambres opposed Moshe Rabbeinu, so also these oppose HaEmes. These men have been corrupted in their mind and are failures with respect to the emunah [of Moshiach, Yd 1:3],

9 But they will not proceed very far, for the sichlut (folly, stupidity) of them will likewise become conspicuous to all.
