Bible verse
But they will not advance much further. For just like Jannes and Jambres, their folly will be plain to everyone.
2 Timothy 3:9 · BSB
The verses around it, from 2 Timothy 3.
5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these!
6 They are the kind who worm their way into households and captivate vulnerable women who are weighed down with sins and led astray by various passions,
7 who are always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.
8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth. They are depraved in mind and disqualified from the faith.
9 But they will not advance much further. For just like Jannes and Jambres, their folly will be plain to everyone.
10 You, however, have observed my teaching, my conduct, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, my perseverance,
11 my persecutions, and the sufferings that came upon me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured! Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them.
12 Indeed, all who desire to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
13 while evil men and imposters go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
KJV
But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all [men], as theirs also was.
ASV
But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be evident unto all men, as theirs also came to be.
ERV
But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be evident unto all men, as theirs also came to be.
