2 Timothy 2:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 [a]Study to show thyself approved unto God a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, dividing the word of truth [b]aright.
16 [c]Stay profane, and vain babblings: [d]for they shall increase unto more ungodliness.
17 And their word shall fret as a canker: of which sort is Hymenaeus and Philetus.
