Stay away from such people. 6 They are the kind who creep into homes and capture weak-willed women who are burdened with sins and led astray by various desires. 7 Always learning but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth.
