^{16 Ref} But shun profane babblings: for they will proceed further in ungodliness,

^{17 Ref} and their word will eat as doth a gangrene: or whom is Hymenaeus an Philetus;

^{18 Ref} men who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already, and overthrow the faith of some.

^{16 Ref} But shun empty chatter, for they will proceed further in ungodliness,

^{17 Ref} and their word will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

^{18 Ref} men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.

^{16 Ref} But take no part in wrong and foolish talk, for those who do so will go farther into evil,

^{17 Ref} And their words will be like poisoned wounds in the flesh: such are Hymenaeus and Philetus;

^{18 Ref} Men whose ideas are all false, who say that the coming back from the dead has even now taken place, overturning the faith of some.
