2 Timothy 3:7-9
New English Translation

7 Such women are always seeking instruction,[a] yet never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. 8 And just as Jannes and Jambres[b] opposed Moses, so these people—who have warped minds and are disqualified in the faith[c]—also oppose the truth. 9 But they will not go much further,[d] for their foolishness will be obvious to everyone, just like it was with Jannes and Jambres.[e]
