2 Timothy 3:9 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

But they shall proceed no further; God will preserve those in his church that are sincere; though they may captivate a few poor, ignorant women, they shall have no great success. For their folly shall be made manifest unto all men; for God will in his providence so order it, that their folly or madness shall appear to all, and their party shall decline. The Divine Providence, that governs all things by the invincible light of truth, discovers and confounds the most specious and subtle seducers in his own time. And this prediction of the apostle was exactly fulfilled with respect to those primitive seducers. As theirs also was; as God by his providence laid open Jannes and Jambres.

2 Timothy 3:9

9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
