2 Timothy 2:18

A Worker Approved To God And Not Ashamed

¹⁷ and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among these people are Hymenaeus and Philetus, ¹⁸ who have strayed from the truth [by] saying that the resurrection [from the dead] has already happened and are undermining the faith of some people. ¹⁹ However, the solid foundation of God stands firm. [Note: This probably refers to the church. See I Tim. 3:15]. It is sealed with these words [i.e., certifying God's ownership and a commitment to Him]: "The Lord knows those who are His people," [See Num. 16:5], and "Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord should stop practicing wickedness." [See Isa. 36:13].
