2 Timothy 2:16-18
New English Translation

16 But avoid profane chatter,[a] because those occupied with it will stray further and further into ungodliness,[b] 17 and their message will spread its infection[c] like gangrene. Hymenaeus and Philetus are in this group.[d] 18 They have strayed from the truth[e] by saying that the resurrection has already occurred, and they are undermining some people’s faith.

Footnotes

  1. 2 Timothy 2:16 sn Profane chatter was apparently a characteristic of the false teachers in Ephesus (cf. 1 Tim 1:3-4; 4:7; 6:20).
  2. 2 Timothy 2:16 tn Grk “they [who engage in it] will progress even more in ungodliness.”
  3. 2 Timothy 2:17 tn Or “eat away.”
  4. 2 Timothy 2:17 tn Grk “of whom are Hymenaeus and Philetus.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, this last clause has been made a new sentence in the translation.
  5. 2 Timothy 2:18 tn Grk “have deviated concerning the truth.”
