2 Timothy 3:9

Read in context

2 Timothy 3:7–11 · Berean Standard Bible

7 who are always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.

8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth. They are depraved in mind and disqualified from the faith.

9 But they will not advance much further. For just like Jannes and Jambres, their folly will be plain to everyone.

10 You, however, have observed my teaching, my conduct, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, my perseverance,

11 my persecutions, and the sufferings that came upon me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured! Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them.
