2 Timothy 3:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ as they maintain the appearance of godliness^[a] but deny its power. Avoid persons like that!

⁶ They are the type who insinuate themselves into households and gain control of the women there who are burdened by their sins and obsessed with their desires, ⁷ and who are always seeking to be taught but unable to ever arrive at a knowledge of the truth.
