7 and are always learning something new, and yet are never able to arrive at real 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

7 and are always learning something new, and yet are never able to arrive at real knowledge of the truth.

8 And just as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so also these false teachers withstand the truth--being, as they are, men of debased intellects, and of no real worth so far as faith is concerned.

9 But they will have no further success; for their folly will be as clearly manifest to all men, as that of the opponents of Moses came to be.
