2 Timothy 2:14-19
New International Version
Dealing With False Teachers
14 Keep reminding God’s people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words;(A) it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen. 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.(B) 16 Avoid godless chatter,(C) because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. 17 Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus(D) and Philetus, 18 who have departed from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place,(E) and they destroy the faith of some.(F) 19 Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm,(G) sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,”(H) and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord(I) must turn away from wickedness.”
2 Timothy 3:12-17
New International Version
12 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,(A) 13 while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse,(B) deceiving and being deceived.(C) 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,(D) 15 and how from infancy(E) you have known the Holy Scriptures,(F) which are able to make you wise(G) for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed(H) and is useful for teaching,(I) rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,(J) 17 so that the servant of God[a](K) may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.(L)
