2 Timothy 2:13-19

13If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, since he cannot deny himself.

14Remind people of these things and solemnly charge them before the Lord not to wrangle over words. This is of no benefit; it just brings ruin on those who listen.

15Make every effort to present yourself before God as a proven worker who does not need to be ashamed, teaching the message of truth accurately.

16But avoid profane chatter, because those occupied with it will stray further and further into ungodliness,

17and their message will spread its infection like gangrene. Hymenaeus and Philetus are in this group.

18They have strayed from the truth by saying that the resurrection has already occurred, and they are undermining some people’s faith.

19However, God’s solid foundation remains standing, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from evil.”
