THE SECOND EPISTLE OF PAUL TO TIMOTHY - Chapter 4 - Verse 4

Verse 4. And they shall turn away their ears from the truth. That is, the people themselves will turn away from the truth. It does not mean that the teachers would turn them away by the influence of their instructions.

And shall be turned unto fables. See Barnes "1 Ti 1:4".
