Theophylact of Ohrid, on 2Tim 3:7

“Ever learning, and never attaining to the knowledge of the truth.”

“They may be worthy of indulgence? By no means; on the contrary, they are all the more undeserving of it. Since they were mired in sins and lusts, their reason also became dulled, so that their inability to know the truth is not a natural deficiency, but a consequence of the wrong direction of their will.”
