‏ 2 Timothy 3:1-6

Summary for 2Tim 3:1-4:8: 3:1–4:8 ^a Timothy must stay on course through difficult times ahead.
Summary for 2Tim 3:1-5: 3:1-5 ^b Paul describes what people will be like in the last days (see also 1 Tim 4:1-5 ^c; 2 Pet 2:1-22 ^d; 3:3 ^e; Jude 1:18 ^f), which had already begun (2 Tim 3:5 ^g, 6-9 ^h).
3:5 ⁱ People like that (3:2-4 ^j) had rejected sound teaching and cut themselves off from the power that could make them godly (see 1 Tim 1:5-11 ^k; Col 2:16-23 ^l).
Summary for 2Tim 3:6-7: 3:6-7 ^m The effect of the false teachers on households and women is a consistent concern of the letters to Timothy and Titus (Titus 1:11 ⁿ; see 1 Tim 2:11-15 ^o; 3:4-5 ^p; 5:14-15 ^q). Whether or not the false teachers targeted women, they apparently were successful with some of them.
