King James Bible
Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

American Standard Version
ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Young's Literal Translation
always learning, and never to a knowledge of truth able to come,

2 Timothy 3:7 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

Ever learning - From their false teachers, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth, because that teaching never leads to the truth; for, although there was a form of godliness, which gave them a sort of authority to teach, yet, as they denied the power of godliness, they never could bring their votaries to the knowledge of the saving power of Christianity.

There are many professors of Christianity still who answer the above description. They hear, repeatedly hear, it may be, good sermons; but, as they seldom meditate on what they hear, they derive little profit from the ordinances of God. They have no more grace now than they had several years ago, though hearing all the while, and perhaps not wickedly departing from the Lord. They do not meditate, they do not think, they do not reduce what they hear to practice; therefore, even under the preaching of an apostle, they could not become wise to salvation.
