He wrote: “There will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. ” ​ — 2 Timothy 4: 3, 4.
Viņš rakstīja: ” Nāks laiks, kad viņi nepanesīs veselīgo mācību, bet uzkraus sev mācītājus pēc pašu iegribām, kā nu ausis niez, un novērsīs ausis no patiesības, bet piegriezīsies pasakām. ”
