2 Timothy 3:13 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. Evil men and seducers shall wax worse - They will yet get on for a season, deceiving themselves and deceiving others; but, by and by, their folly will become manifest to all, 2 Timothy 3:9. The word γοητες, which we render seducers, signifies jugglers, pretenders to magical arts; probably persons dealing in false miracles, with whom the Church in all ages has been not a little disgraced.

2 Timothy 3:13

13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
