2 Timothy 2:18

16 But shun profane and¹ idle babblings, for they will² increase to more ungodliness.

17 And their message will spread like cancer. ^aHymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort,

18 who have strayed concerning the truth, ^asaying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some.

19 Nevertheless ^athe solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord ^bknows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of¹ Christ depart from iniquity.”

20 But in a great house there are not only ^avessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor.

2 Timothy 2:18

Who concerning the truth have erred - They had the truth, but erred or wandered from it, saying the resurrection was already past, and thus denying the resurrection of the body, and, by consequence, future rewards and punishments; and this necessarily sapped the foundation of all religion: and thus the gangrene had, in reference to their unhappy votaries, a rapid and unchecked operation.
