OET (OET-LV) and from of_you_all yourselves men will_be_rising_up speaking having_been_perverted things, of_the thing to_be_drawing_out the apprentices/followers after themselves.
OET (OET-RV) Even some of you will rise up and teach a message that’s warped but which will draw some of the believers away to follow it,
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns
καὶ ἐξ ὑμῶν αὐτῶν
and from ˱of˲_you_all yourselves
Paul is adding the word yourselves for emphasis. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this emphasis. Alternate translation: “From within your very own group”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἀναστήσονται ἄνδρες λαλοῦντες διεστραμμένα
/will_be/_rising_up men speaking /having_been/_perverted_‹things›
In this context, arise means to take action to get an enterprise under way, not to get up from a sitting or lying position. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “men will begin to speak perverted things”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
διεστραμμένα
/having_been/_perverted_‹things›
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “distortions of the truth”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τοῦ ἀποσπᾶν τοὺς μαθητὰς ὀπίσω ἑαυτῶν
˱of˲_the_‹thing› /to_be/_drawing_out ¬the disciples after themselves
Paul is speaking as if these false teachers would physically draw away people after them as they themselves left the fellowship of true believers in Jesus. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “in order to influence disciples to follow their teaching instead of Jesus’ teaching”
20:18-38 Paul’s address to the elders of the church of Ephesus is a testimony regarding his life and ministry in Ephesus, calling for similar dedication from the leaders who would carry on the ministry. The sermon highlights Paul’s integrity and pastoral care (20:18-21, 26, 31), speaks about the future (20:22-23, 25, 29-30), warns against false teachers (20:29-30), and exhorts the elders to be watchful and faithful (20:28, 31). Paul modeled sacrificial, conscientious, servant leadership.
