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 3:7-8

3:7 Such women are always seeking instruction, ²  yet never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. 3:8 And just as Jannes and Jambres ³  opposed Moses, so these people – who have warped minds and are disqualified in the faith ⁴  – also oppose the truth.

1 Timotius 6:5

6:5 and constant bickering by people corrupted in their minds and deprived of the truth, who suppose that godliness ⁵  is a way of making a profit.

Titus 1:14

1:14 and not pay attention to Jewish myths ⁶  and commands of people who reject the truth.

[2:18]  ¹ tn Grk “have deviated concerning the truth.”

[3:7]  ² tn Grk “always learning,” continuing the description of the women from v. 6. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[3:8]  ³ sn Jannes and Jambres were the traditional names of two of Pharaoh’s magicians who opposed Moses at the time of the Exodus.

[3:8]  ⁴ tn Grk “disapproved concerning the faith.”

[6:5]  ⁵ tc Although most witnesses, including some early versions and fathers (D² Ψ Ï sy Cyp Lcf Ambst), have ἀφίστασο ἀπὸ τῶν τοιούτων (afistaso apo’ twn toioutwn, “stay away from such things!”) after εὐσεβείαν (eusebeian, “godliness”; thus, “who suppose that godliness is a way of making a profit; stay away from such things!”), there seems to be little good reason for this clause’s omission in some of the oldest and best witnesses (א A D* F G 048 6 33 81 1175 1739 1881 lat co). It is likely that it crept into the text early, perhaps as a marginal comment, but it should not be considered authentic in light of the strong external evidence against it.

[1:14]  ⁶ sn Jewish myths were legendary tales characteristic of the false teachers in Ephesus and Crete. See parallels in 1 Tim 1:4; 4:7; and 2 Tim 4:4.
