2 Timothy 3:8 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

OLBGrk;

Concerning this resistance of Moses by Jannes and Jambres, the Holy Scripture saith nothing but in this text. It is said by interpreters, that they were two brethren, the chief of Pharaoh's magicians, who opposed Moses in the miracles he wrought, Exodus 7:11, whose names might be known in Paul's time by tradition, or the public writings of the Jews. So do these also resist the truth; so will corrupt teachers under the gospel resist the truth of the gospel published by Christ's ministers. Men of corrupt minds; men whose hearts are corrupted with sordid lusts. Reprobate concerning the faith; adokimoi of no sound judgment as to the doctrine of faith, or not approved of God, or good men, as to their sentiments about our faith.

2 Timothy 3:8

8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobatea concerning the faith.
