6 Some will slither into households and control immature women who are burdened with sins and driven by all kinds of desires.
7 These women are always learning, but they can never arrive at an understanding of the truth.
8 These people oppose the truth in the same way that Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses. Their minds are corrupt and their faith is counterfeit.
9 But they won’t get very far. Their foolishness will become obvious to everyone like those others.
10 But you have paid attention to my teaching, conduct, purpose, faithfulness, patience, love, and endurance.
11 You have seen me experience physical abuse and ordeals in places such as Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I put up with all sorts of abuse, and the Lord rescued me from it all!
12 In fact, anyone who wants to live a holy life in Christ Jesus will be harassed.
