2 Timothy 3:6 in other translations
For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
They are the kind who worm their way into households and captivate vulnerable women who are weighed down with sins and led astray by various passions,
For some of these are people who creep into houses and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,

In context
3 Without natural love, bitter haters, saying evil of others, violent and uncontrolled, hating all good,
4 False to their friends, acting without thought, lifted up in mind, loving pleasure more than God;
5 Having a form of religion, but turning their backs on the power of it: go not with these.
6 For these are they who go secretly into houses, making prisoners of foolish women, weighted down with sin, turned from the way by their evil desires,
7 Ever learning, and never coming to the knowledge of what is true.
8 And as James and Jambres went against Moses, so do these go against what is true: men of evil minds, who, tested by faith, are seen to be false.
9 But they will go no farther: for their foolish behaviour will be clear to all men, as theirs was in the end.
