2 Timothy 3:6

Evil in the Last Days

5having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these!6They are the kind who worm their way into households and captivate vulnerable women who are weighed down with sins and led astray by various passions,7who are always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.

Geneva Bible 1599

King James (Authorized) Version
For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
Plain English Version
They are the sort of people that trick some women that are stupid. They find women that always do anything they feel like doing, women that really went wrong, women that know that they did lots of bad things. That sort of woman is always ready to listen to a teacher that has a new idea, but they can never understand the true message. Those bad men get those women to let them into their homes, then they trick them with their talk, until the women really believe them.
Translation for Translators
because some such people, even now, subtly/deceivingly persuade foolish women to let them come into their houses, and then they deceive those women so that they control what those women think. These women have been burdened with sins {have sinned very much} and they have been led to do {they do} the many evil things that they strongly desire to do.
Unlocked Literal Bible
For some of them are men who enter into households and captivate foolish women. These are women who are heaped up with sins and are led away by various desires.

for of these there are those coming into the houses and leading captive the silly women, laden with sins, led away with desires manifold,
