15. Give diligence to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth.
16. But shun profane babblings: for they will proceed further in ungodliness,
17. and their word will eat as doth a gangrene: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
18. men who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already, and overthrow the faith of some.
