2 Timoteo 4:4

4 Y apartarán de la verdad el oído y se volverán á las fábulas.

2 Timoteo 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 Timoteo 4:4 In-Context

2 Que prediques la palabra; que instes á tiempo y fuera de tiempo; redarguye, reprende; exhorta con toda paciencia y doctrina.
3 Porque vendrá tiempo cuando ni sufrirán la sana doctrina; antes, teniendo comezón de oir, se amotonarán maestros conforme á sus concupiscencias,
4 Y apartarán de la verdad el oído y se volverán á las fábulas.
5 Pero tú vela en todo, soporta las aflicciones, haz la obra de evangelista, cumple tu ministerio.
6 Porque yo ya estoy para ser ofrecido, y el tiempo de mi partida está cercano.
