2 Timotius 2:18

2:18 They have strayed from the truth ¹  by saying that the resurrection has already occurred, and they are undermining some people’s faith.

2 Timotius 3:8-9

3:8 And just as Jannes and Jambres ²  opposed Moses, so these people – who have warped minds and are disqualified in the faith ³  – also oppose the truth. 3:9 But they will not go much further, ⁴  for their foolishness will be obvious to everyone, just like it was with Jannes and Jambres. ⁵ 

2 Timotius 4:3-4

4:3 For there will be a time when people ⁶  will not tolerate sound teaching. Instead, following their own desires, ⁷  they will accumulate teachers for themselves, because they have an insatiable curiosity to hear new things. ⁸  4:4 And they will turn away from hearing the truth, but on the other hand they will turn aside to myths. ⁹
