12If we go on to the end, then we will be ruling with him: if we say we have no knowledge of him, then he will say he has no knowledge of us:
13If we are without faith, still he keeps faith, for he will never be untrue to himself.
14Put these things before them, giving them orders in the name of the Lord to keep themselves from fighting about words, which is of no profit, only causing error in their hearers.
15Let it be your care to get the approval of God, as a workman who has no cause for shame, giving the true word in the right way.
16But take no part in wrong and foolish talk, for those who do so will go farther into evil,
17And their words will be like poisoned wounds in the flesh: such are Hymenaeus and Philetus;
18Men whose ideas are all false, who say that the coming back from the dead has even now taken place, overturning the faith of some.
