Context — Instructions for Timothygenerated
2 Timothy 4:3 is part of Paul’s exhortation to Timothy, emphasizing the importance of preaching the truth and being prepared for the time when people will turn away from sound teaching. Paul foresees a future where individuals will seek out teachings that align with their own desires rather than the truth of the Gospel. This warning is crucial for understanding the challenges faced by the early church, which can still be relevant today.

The Key Word — ὑγιαίνω, hugiainōgenerated
The word ὑγιαινούσης is a present active participle derived from ὑγιαίνω, meaning 'to be sound' or 'to be healthy.' It is used here to describe doctrine that is healthy and uncorrupt.
In this context, it emphasizes the quality of teaching that should be upheld. The participle form suggests an ongoing state of being, indicating that sound doctrine is not just a one-time event but a continuous necessity for the church.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is presented in the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), which uses the phrase sound doctrine to translate ὑγιαινούσης. Other translations, such as the KJV and ASV, use doctrine, maintaining the focus on teaching.
Where translations differ, they do so primarily regarding the rendering of καὶρὸς as time (BSB, KJV, ASV) versus season (YLT) and the choice between ears (KJV, ASV) and ear (DBY).
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the sentence is ἔσται, there will be, which governs the entire clause. The subject is καιρὸς, a time, indicating when this situation will occur. The structure includes several subordinate clauses that elaborate on the actions of the people.
The first clause describes the time that will come, while the subsequent clauses detail the actions of the people, including their refusal to endure sound doctrine and their gathering of teachers to satisfy their desires.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
ὑγιαινούσης does not have a direct equivalent in the Septuagint, but it reflects the concept of health and soundness found in various contexts. This term emphasizes the importance of soundness in teaching, which is a recurring theme in both the Old and New Testaments.
The concept of καὶρὸς aligns with the Hebrew word עֵת (H6256), meaning 'time,' which appears in similar contexts throughout the Septuagint, highlighting the significance of timing in God's plan.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated

εἰμί is a Greek verb meaning 'to be' or 'to exist.' It serves various functions, such as a substantive verb for persons and things, and as a copula linking subjects and predicates. The New Testament frequently uses it in passages like John 1:1 and Matthew 24:3. Notably, it can also express possibility, as seen in Hebrews 9:5.

The Greek word γάρ (gar) is a coordinating particle primarily used to introduce reasons or explanations, similar to 'for' in English. It can serve various functions, including causal, explicative, and conclusive, and is often placed after the first word in a clause. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts that clarify or justify preceding statements, aligning with its classical usage.
γάρ, a conjunction, which ace. to its composition, γέ and dpa (i. 4. ἄρ), is properly a particle of affirmation and conclusion, denoting truly therefore, verily as the case stands, “ the thing is first aflirmed by the particle yé, and then is referred to what precedes by the force of the particle dpa” (Klotz ad Devar. ii. 1, p. 232; οἵ. Kiihner ii. p. 724; [Jelf § 786; W. 445 (415) sq-]). Now since by a new affirmation not infrequently the reason and nature of something previously mentioned are set forth, it comes to pass that, by the use of this particle, either the reason and cause of a foregoing statement is added, whence arises the causal or argumentative force of the particle, for (Lat. nam, enim; Germ. denn) ; or some previous declaration is explained, whence γάρ takes on an ex plicative force: YP Sor, the fact is, namely (Lat. videlicet, Germ. ndmilich). Thus the force of the…

for (ki (conjunction), le, from 'el (preposition), and various other words. In the New Testament also the words are various, chiefly gar, kai gar, hoti (conjunctions); anti apo eis dia (accusative), epi (dative and accusative), peri (genitive), pros (genitive and accusative), huper (genitive) (prepositions)): the English Revised Version and the American Standard Revised Version give in many cases more literal or more accurate renderings than those in the King James Version.
In the New Testament the most important preps. from a doctrinal point of view are anti, "face to face," "over against," "instead," "on behalf of," peri, "around," "about," "concerning," huper, "over," "on behalf of." The first has been claimed as stating the substitutionary nature of Christ's sacrifice as contrasted with huper and peri, more frequently used of it. But, although anti in the New Testament often means…

καιρός refers to a fitting or opportune time, often indicating a specific season or moment suitable for action. It can denote a measure of time, whether short or long, and is used in various contexts in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 11:25 and Romans 13:11. The word is built from the idea of proportion and fitness, and while it overlaps with χρόνος (time), it emphasizes the appropriateness of the moment.
Severat times in the N. T. but always in the plural, χρόνοι καὶ καιροί are found together (Acts i. 7; 1 Thess. y. 1); and not unfrequently in the Septuagint and the Apocrypha, Wisd. vii. 18; viii. 8 (both instructive passages) ; Dan. ii. 21; and in the singular, Eccles. iii. 1; Dan. vii. 12 : P 210 SYNONYMS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. § vu. (but in this last passage the reading is doubtful). Grotius (on Acts i. 7) conceives the difference between them to consist merely in the greater length of the χρόνοι as compared with the καιροί, and writes: “ χρόνοι sunt majora temporum spatia, ut anni; καιροί minora, ut menses et dies.’ Compare Bengel: ‘ χρόνων partes καιροί. This distinction, if not inaccurate, is certainly insufficient, and altogether fails to reach the heart of the matter. Χρόνος is time, contemplated simply as such; the succession of moments (Matt. xxv. 19; Rev. x. 6; Heb. iv. 7)…

tim: The basis of the Hebrew measurement of time was the day and the lunar month, as with the Semites generally. The division of the day into hours was late, probably not common until after the exile, although the sun-dial of Ahaz (2Ki 20:9; Isa 38:8) would scent to indicate some division of the day into periods of some sort, as we know the night was divided, The word used for "hour" is Aramaic she`a' (sha`ta'), and does not occur in the Old Testament until the Book of Daniel (4:33; 5:5), and even there it stands for an indefinite period for which "time" would answer as well.
1. The Day:
The term "day" (yom) was in use from the earliest times, as is indicated in the story of the Creation (Ge 1). It there doubtless denotes an indefinite period, but is marked off by "evening and…
Besides the ordinary uses of this word, the Bible sometimes employs it to denote a year, as in Da 4:16; or a prophetic year, consisting of three hundred and sixty natural year, a day being taken for a year. Thus in Da 7:25 12:7, the phrase "a time, times, and the dividing of a time" is supposed to mean three and a half prophetic years, or 1,260 natural years. This period is elsewhere paralleled by the expression, "forty-two months," each month including thirty years, Re 11:2-3 12:6,14 13:5.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word ὑγιαίνω (i.e., *hugiaino*) means to be sound or healthy, both physically and metaphorically. It is derived from ὑγιής and covers a range of meanings from being in good health to being sound in faith or doctrine. The New Testament uses it in contexts like health (Luke 5:31) and sound teaching (1 Timothy 1:10).
ὑγιαίνω

[in LXX chiefly for שָׁלוֹם, and freq. in To ;]
ὑγιαίνω; (ὑγιής); fr. Hdt. down; to be sound, to be well, to be in good health: prop., Lk. ν. 31; vii. 10; xv. 27; [3 Jn. 2]; metaph. the phrase ὑγιαίνειν ἐν τῇ πίστει [Β. § 133, 19 ]is used of one whose Christian opinions are free from any admixture of error, Tit. i. 13; τῇ πίστει, τῇ ἀγάπῃ. τῇ ὑπομονῇ. (cf. B. u. s.], of one who keeps these graces sound and strong, Tit. ii. 2; ἡ ὑγιαίνουσα διδαo
ὑγιαίνω, “κἀπὶ in good health,’’ is very com:mon in private letters, e.g. (a) at the opening—BGU II. 4233 (ii/A.D.)

Herodas VI. 97 ὑγίαινε, ‘‘good-bye” or ‘‘ good-night,” with Headlam’s note. For a metaph. usage, as in the Pastorals (1 Tim 11° a/.), cf.

sound: In Isa 63:15 the King James Version has "the sounding of thy bowels," a painfully literal translation of hamon me'eykha, with the similar phrase, "my bowels shall sound like an harp," in Isa 16:11 (compare Jer 48:36). The intestines were considered a seat of emotion, and at times of great excitement were thought (in poetry, at least) to become tense and to give forth a musical sound. The Revised Version (British and American) (following the King James Version in Jer 48:36) substitutes "heart" for "bowels" in Isa 16:11, thus obscuring the figure but preserving the sense. In

The Greek word διδασκαλία (i.e., *didaskalia*) means teaching or instruction, encompassing both the act of teaching and the content taught. It appears frequently in the New Testament, particularly in contexts related to doctrine and moral guidance. The term is derived from διδάσκω (i.e., *didasko*), meaning 'to teach.' There is a noted synonym, διδαχή (i.e., *didache*), which may be used interchangeably.

The Greek word οὐ (transliterated as ou) is a primary negative particle meaning 'not' or 'no.' It is used to negate verbs or statements, often appearing in various forms depending on the following sound. In the New Testament, it frequently serves to deny facts and is distinct from another negative particle, μή (transliterated as mē), which is used for prohibitions or wishes.
οὐ, before a vowel with smooth breathing οὐκ, before one with rough breathing οὐχ (but improperly οὐχ ἰδού, Ac 2:7, WH, mg.; cf. WH, Intr., § 409; M, Pr., 44, 244),

absol. (accented), οὔ, no: Mt 13:29, Jo 1:21 21:5; οὒ οὔ, Mt 5:37, Ja 5:12.
οὐ before a consonant, οὐκ before a vowel with a smooth breathing, and ody before an aspirated vowel ; but sometimes in the best codd. οὐχ occurs even before a smooth breathing; accordingly LT WH mrg. have adopted οὐχ ἰδού, Acts ii. 7; LT οὐχ ᾿Ιουδαϊκῶς, Gal. ii. 14 (see WH.

The Greek word ἀνέχω (i.e., anechō) is built from the prefix ἀν- and the root ἔχω, meaning to hold up or endure. It primarily conveys the idea of bearing with or enduring, particularly in the New Testament, where it appears in contexts of patience and forbearance, such as in Matthew 17:17 and 2 Corinthians 11:1. The entries do not show significant disagreement.

The Greek word ἀλλά (alla) is an adversative particle, meaning 'but' or 'otherwise.' It is derived from the neuter plural of ἄλλος and is used to introduce opposition or contrast in sentences. In the New Testament, it often appears in contexts that involve negation or exceptions, such as in Matthew 5:15 and John 16:2. The lexicons note its stronger adversative force compared to δέ.

κατά (kata) is a preposition used with the genitive and accusative cases, primarily meaning 'down' or 'against.' It indicates direction, motion, or relation, appearing in various contexts such as 'down from' (e.g., Mt 8:32) and 'against' (e.g., Mk 9:40). The word also conveys meanings like 'throughout' and 'according to.' Lexicons note its frequent use in the New Testament, with some variations in application.

(cf. Proleg. p. 105). Brugmann (Awrze Vergletchende Grammazk, p. 479) considers that the earliest use of the word was “‘along ” something, so as to remain in connexion and contact with the object, and from this most of the senses found in the NT can be derived.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,

The Greek word ἴδιος (i.dios) means 'one's own' or 'private.' It conveys a sense of personal ownership or belonging, often contrasting with what is public or shared. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts referring to personal property, family, and private matters, such as in John 1:11 and Galatians 6:5. The word can also imply distinctiveness or peculiarity, as seen in various classical texts.
ἴδιος, -α, -ον (in Attic usually -ος, -ον),
[in LXX chiefly for pers. suff., also for לָהֶם, etc.; (τὰ ἴ.) בֵּיתוֹ;]
one's own;

ἴδιος, -a, -ov, (in prof. auth. [esp. Attic] also of two term.), [fr. Hom. down]; 1. pertaining to one’s self, one’s own; used a. univ. of what is one’s own as opp. to belonging to another: τὰ ἴδια πρόβατα, Jn. x. 3 sq. 12; τὰ ἱμάτια τὰ ἴδια, Mk. xv. 20 RG Tr (for which T τὰ ἴδ. in. αὐτοῦ, L WII τὰ ig. αὐτοῦ); τὸ ἴδιον (for his own use) κτῆνος, Lk. x. 34; διὰ τοῦ ἰδίου αἵματος, Heb. ix. 12; xiii. 12, (ἰδίῳ αἵματι, 4 Mace. vii. 8); τὸ ἴδιον μίσθωμα, which he had hired for himself (opp. to ἡ ξενία [q. v-], 23), Acts xxviii. 30; add, Jn. v.43; vii. 18; Acts iii. 12; xiil. 36; Ro. xi. 24; xiv. 4 sq.3 1 Co. iii. 8 (ἴδιον κόπον) ; vi. 185 vii. 4,37; ix. 7; xi. 21; Gal. vi.5; 1 Tim. ill. 4,12; v. 4; 2 Tim.i.9; iv. 3; πράσσειν τὰ ἴδια, to do one’s own business (and not intermeddle with the affairs of others), 1 Th. iv. 11; ἰδία ἐπίλυσις, an interpretation which one thinks out for himself, opp.…

It will hardly be denied, however, that in all these passages ἴδιος adds a certain emphasis, and this undoubtedly holds good of the general NT usage, as e.g. Jn 141, 1 Cor 3°, Gal 6°, Heb 7*7, etc.: see more particularly Pro/eg. p. 87 ff. (as against Deissmann BS p. 123 f.), and cf. Souter (Zex. s.v.) where the word is rendered ‘‘one’s own,’’ ‘‘ belonging to one,” ‘‘private,’’ ‘* personal,” without any mention of a weaker meaning. Winer-Schmiedel G7 § 22, 17, on the other hand, claims for the word both senses in the NT, and illustrates these in detail. It is probably impossible to draw the line strictly, so…

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

The Greek word ἐπιθυμία (i.e., *epithumia*) means desire or longing, often with a focus on forbidden things, such as lust. It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, including Luke 22:15 and Romans 7:7-8. The term is derived from ἐπιθυμέω and can refer to both earnest and inordinate desires. Some lexicons note its use for sexual desire, while others emphasize its broader implications.
Πάθος occurs three times in the N. T.; once coordinated with ἐπιθυμία (Col. 111. 5; for παθήματα and ἐπιθυμίαι in like manner joined together see Gal. v. 24) ; once subordinated to it (πάθος ἐπιθυμίας, 1 Thess. iv. 5); while on the other occasion of its use (Rom. i. 26), the πάθη ἀτιμίας (“ vile affections,” A. V.) are lusts that dishonour those who indulge in them. The word belongs to the terminology of the Greek Schools. Thus Cicero (Tusc. Quest. iv. 5): ‘Que Greci πάθη vocant, nobis perturbationes appellari magis placet quam morbos ;’ on this preference see iii. 10; and presently after he adopts Zeno’s definition, ‘aversa a recté ratione, contra naturam, animi commotio ;’ and elsewhere (Offic. ii. 5), ‘motus animi turbatus.’ The exact definition of Zeno, as given by Diogenes Laértius, is as follows (vii. 1. 68): ἔστι δὲ αὐτὸ τὸ πάθος ἡ ἄλογος καὶ παρὰ φύσιν ψυχῆς κίνησις, ἢ ὁρμὴ…

The Greek word ἐπισωρεύω (i.e., *episoreuo*) is built from the prefix ἐπι- and the root σωρεύω, meaning to heap up or accumulate. It is used metaphorically in the New Testament, notably in 2 Timothy 4:3, where it refers to gathering many teachers. The entries generally agree on its meaning of accumulating or heaping up.
ἐπι-σωρεύω : fut. ἐπισωρεύσω; to heap up, accumulate in piles: διδασκάλους, to choose for themselves and run after a great number of teachers, 2 Tim. iv. 3. (PlutAthen., Artemid., al.)
ἐπισωρεύω. Vett. Val. p. 33274 ἐκ τούτων γὰρ συνορᾶται καὶ εὐκατάληπτα γίνεται τὰ πολλῷ χρόνῳ --καὶ -- καμάτῳ ἐπισωρεύοντα τοῖς ἀνθρώποις τὴν παρὰ τούτων ἐνέργειαν : cf. Ρ. 344. Epict. i. 10. 5 λοιπὸν ἕν ἐξ ἑνὸς ἐπισεσώρευκεν, “has gone on adding to his heap ever since” (Matheson).
ἐπισωρεύω (episōreuō) — to accumulate.
ἐπισωρ-εύω,
heap upon, τινί τι [Refs 2nd c.AD+]; heap up, accumulate, διδασκάλους [NT+1st c.AD+]:—passive, [Refs 2nd c.AD+]

The Greek word διδάσκαλος (i.e., *didaskalos*) means 'teacher' or 'master.' It is derived from the verb διδάσκω (i.e., *didasko*), meaning 'to teach.' The term is used in various contexts in the New Testament, referring to teachers of the Jewish faith, including Jesus and the apostles, as well as false teachers. It appears frequently in titles of address, especially in the Gospels.

The Greek word κνήθω (lemma: knēthō) means to scratch or tickle, and in a passive sense, to itch. It appears in the New Testament, specifically in 2 Timothy 4:3, where it metaphorically refers to a desire for pleasurable or comforting messages. The word is a later form of κνάω and has a range of uses in classical literature, often related to physical sensations.
* κνήθω
(late form of κνάω),
to scratch.
to tickle; pass., to itch: II Ti 4:3.†
κνήθω: pres. pass. κνήθομαι; (fr. κνάω, inf. κνᾶν and Attic κνῆν) ; to scratch, tickle, make to itch; pass. to itch : κνηθόμενοι τὴν ἀκοήν (on the acc. ef. W. § 32,5), i. 6. desirous of hearing something pleasant (Hesych. κνήθ. τ. ἀκοήν - ζητοῦντές τι ἀκοῦσαι καθ᾽ ἡδονήν), 2 Tim. iv. 3. (Mid. τὸν ὄνον κνήθεσθαι εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας τὰ ἕλκη, its sores, Aristot. h. ἃ. 9, 1 p. 609", 32; κνῆν ᾿Αττικοὶ, κνήθειν Ἕλληves, Moeris p. 234; [ef. Veitch 5. v. xvdw].)
κνήθω. The use of this rare Hellenistic verb in 2 Tim 4? is well illustrated by Clem. Al. Strom. I. iii. 22. 5 (p. 15, ed. Stahlin) κνήθοντες καὶ γαργαλίζοντες οὐκ ἀνδρικῶς, ἐμοὶ δοκεῖν, τὰς ἀκοὰς τῶν κνήσασθαι γλιχομένων, “ scratching and tickling, in what I consider an unmanly way, the ears of those who wish to be tickled,” with reference to the ‘“‘jargon”’ of the Sophists. For a new literary reference see Herodas iv. 51 ἔσσετ᾽ ἡμέρη κείνη, | ἐν 7 TO βρέγμα τοῦτο τὠσυρὲς κνήσῃ, ‘the day will come when you will scratch your dirty poll”: cf. for the Attic κνάω 22. viii. 8 τόν]θρυζε καὶ κνῶ, ““srumble and scratch your head.”’

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word ἀκοή (akoē) means hearing and encompasses the sense of hearing, the organ (ear), and things heard, such as reports or teachings. It appears in various New Testament contexts, including 1 Corinthians 12:17 and John 12:38. The lexicons note its use in both a physical and metaphorical sense, but they do not present significant disagreement regarding its meanings.

Hebraistically, ἀκοῇ ἀκούειν by hearing to hear i. e. to perceive by hearing, Mt. xiii. 14; Acts xxviii. 26, (Is. vi. 9); cf. W. § 44, 8 Rem. 3 Ρ. 339; § 54, 3 p. 466; [B. 183 sq.

Much earlier is Wiinsch 4 12? (ΠῚ A.D.) where ἀκοάς stands between ἐνκέφαλον [πρόσωϊπον and ὀφρ[ ῦ9] μυκτῆρας. Its more normal sense of ‘‘ hearing”? appears in a would-be cultured letter, BGU IV. 10808 (iii/A.D.) (= Chrest. I. p. 564) καὶ ἡμεῖς δὲ ἀκοῇ ἀπόντες ὡς παρόντες διαθέσι ηὐφράνθημεν :

er ('ozen; ous, otion, the latter word (literally, "earlet") in all the Gospels only used of the ear of the high priest's servant, which was cut off by Peter: Mt 26:51; Mr 14:47; Lu 22:51 (not 22:50); Joh 18:10,26):
(1) The physical organ of hearing which was considered of peculiar importance as the chief instrument by which man receives information and commandments. For this reason the ear of the priest had to be specially sanctified, the tip of the right ear being touched with sacrificial blood at the consecration (Le 8:23). Similarly the ear of the cleansed leper had to be rededicated to the service of God by blood…
Ear
Used frequently in a figurative sense (Ps. 34:15). To “uncover the ear” is to show respect to a person (1 Sam. 20:2 marg.). To have the “ear heavy”, or to have “uncircumcised ears” (Isa. 6:10), is to be inattentive and disobedient. To have the ear “bored” through with an awl was a sign of perpetual servitude (Ex. 21:6).
