2 Timothy 4:4

Will turn away their ears

(την ακοην αποστρεψουσιν). Future active of old verb αποστρεφω. See 1 Corinthians 12:17 for this use of ακοη. The people stopped their ears and rushed at Stephen in Acts 7:57.Will turn aside

(εκτραπησοντα). Second future passive of εκτρεπω. They prefer "myths" to "the truth" as some today turn away to "humanism," "bolshevism," "new thought" or any other fad that will give a new momentary thrill to their itching ears and morbid minds.
