But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
Note the contrast between verse nine, Jannes and Jambres
- Withstanding Moses
- Resisting the truth
- Corrupt minds
- Reprobate of the faith
And verse ten Apostle Paul
- Doctrine
- Manner of life
- Purpose
- Faith
- Longsuffering
- Charity
- Patience
- Persecution[1]
I am reminded of
Proverbs 15:3 (KJV)
The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
The Lord is not the only one who sees. The folly of the evil is manifest to all men and the life of the just is fully known.
Perhaps most importantly is the obvious end of each. The result of evil foolishness is never good. But the fruit of a life lived for the Lord, though often difficult, will be rewarded of the Lord.
[1] Verse 11
