“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;”
For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions — Paul prophesies declining receptivity: believers will refuse (anechō) hygiainontes didaskalia (sound teaching), instead seeking teachers accommodating their knēthomenoi (itching) ears and epithymiai (desires). Consumer religion replaces transformative truth.
