2 Timothy 2:11-19 (Epistle)
- 11
- This is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him.
- 12
- If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us.
- 13
- If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.
- 14
- Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers.
- 15
- Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
- 16
- But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness.
- 17
- And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort,
- 18
- who have strayed concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some.
- 19
- Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”
