2 Timothy 3:13
_ _ Reason why persecutions must be expected, and these becoming worse and worse as the end approaches. The breach between light and darkness, so far from being healed, shall be widened [Alford].
_ _ evil men — in contrast to the “godly” (2 Timothy 3:12).
_ _ seducers — literally, “conjurers.” Magical arts prevailed at Ephesus (Acts 19:19), and had been renounced by many Ephesians on embracing Christianity: but now when Paul was writing to Ephesus, symptoms of a return to conjuring tricks appeared: an undesigned coincidence [Burton]. Probably sorcery will characterize the final apostasy (Revelation 13:15; Revelation 18:23; Revelation 22:15).
_ _ wax worse — literally, “advance in the direction of worse” (see on 2 Timothy 3:9). Not contradictory to that verse: there the diffusion of the evil was spoken of; here its intensity [Alford].
_ _ deceiving, and being deceived — He who has once begun to deceive others, is the less easily able to recover himself from error, and the more easily embraces in turn the errors of others [Bengel]. |
2 Timothy 3:13
Deceiving and being deceived — He who has once begun to deceive others is both the less likely to recover from his own error, and the more ready to embrace the errors of other men. |
2 Timothy 3:13
But evil men and seducers shall wax (d) worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
(d) Their wickedness will daily increase. |

Revelation 18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
