2 Timothy 3:4-6
New English Translation

4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, loving pleasure rather than loving God. 5 They will maintain the outward appearance[a] of religion but will have repudiated its power. So avoid people like these.[b] 6 For some of these insinuate themselves[c] into households and captivate weak women[d] who are overwhelmed with sins and led along by various passions.

  2. 2 Timothy 3:5 tn Grk “and avoid these,” with the word “people” implied.
  3. 2 Timothy 3:6 tn Grk “For from these are those who sneak.”
  4. 2 Timothy 3:6 tn Or “silly women.”
