2 Timothy 2:17 Context
15Studie to shewe thy selfe approued vnto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly diuiding the word of trueth. 16But shun profane and vaine bablings, for they will increase vnto more vngodlinesse. 17And their word will eate as doth a canker: of whom is Hymeneus and Philetus. 18Who concerning the trueth haue erred, saying that the resurrection is past alreadie, and ouerthrow the faith of some. 19Neuerthelesse the foundation of God standeth sure, hauing the seale, the Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let euery one that nameth the Name of Christ, depart from iniquitie.
