2 Timothy 3:6

“For of this sort are they which creep into houses, etc.] Privily and unawares, in a clandestine manner, and insinuate themselves into families, by fawning and flattering, and under specious pretences to knowledge and virtue. The Syriac version uses a word, from whence comes adlwj, “Chulda”, which signifies “a weasel”; suggesting, that their entrance into houses was like to the way of that creature, which is sometimes covered, and sometimes open: there was also a gate of the temple, which was called “Huldah”; whether there is any allusion in the word to that, may be inquired f10. And lead captive silly women; the coming of antichrist is after the working of Satan; as Satan attacked the woman,…”

“of this sort--Greek, "of these," such as were described (Ti2 3:5). creep into--stealthily. laden with sins-- (Isa 1:4); applying to the "silly women" whose consciences are burdened with sins, and so are a ready prey to the false teachers who promise ease of conscience if they will follow them.

“For of this sort are they which creep into houses - Who go slyly and insidiously into families. They are not open and manly in endeavoring to propagate their views, but they endeavor by their address to ingratiate themselves first with weak women, and through them to influence men; compare Titus 1:11. The word translated “creep into,” is rendered by Doddridge, “insinuate themselves;” by Bloomfield, “wind their way into,” in the manner of serpents; by Bretschneider, “deceitfully enter;” by Robinson and Passow,” go in, enter in.” It is not certain that the idea of deceit or cunning is contained in this “word,” yet the whole complexion of the passage implies that they made their way by art and…”

“Of these - That is, mere formalists. 2 Timothy 3:7”

“3:6-7 The effect of the false teachers on households and women is a consistent concern of the letters to Timothy and Titus (Titus 1:11; see 1 Tim 2:11-15; 3:4-5; 5:14-15). Whether or not the false teachers targeted women, they apparently were successful with some of them.”

“of this: Mat 23:14; Tit 1:11; Jde 1:4 laden: Psa 38:4; Isa 1:4; Mat 11:28 led: Co1 12:2; Pe2 3:17 divers: Mar 4:19; Ti1 6:9; Tit 3:3; Pe2 2:18; Jde 1:16, Jde 1:18 2 Timothy 3:7”
