This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Here our apostle encourages Timothy, and in him all the succeeding ministers of the gospel, to the end of the world, against all the discouragements which either he or they might meet with from the impostors and seducers of the times, by assuring them of the issue and event of these trials;

first, That God will put a bar in their way, that they proceed no farther in their hypocritical and juggling practices.

Learn thence, That heretics and seducers are limited and bounded by God: They cannot do all the mischief they would, and they shall not do all they can.

Secondly, That God would make their folly and madness manifest to their own confusion: Their folly shall be discovered, and then abhorred, as was the folly and madness of Jannes and Jambres.

Learn, That God will, in his own time, by the preaching of the word, discover false teachers and their delusions to the world.
