2 Timothy 2:15-17

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁵ Always try very much to serve God in a way that makes him happy. Then he will accept you as a good worker that he can trust. You must teach God's true message correctly. Then you will have no reason to be ashamed of your work. ¹⁶ But stay away from people who talk about silly things that are not important to God. A message like that causes people to live more and more in a way that does not please God. ¹⁷ It causes people to become sick in their spirits. More and more people become sick as a result. Hymenaeus and Philetus are two of the people who teach that kind of false message.
