thou, therefore, suffer evil as a good soldier of Jesus Christ;

no one serving as a soldier did entangle himself with the affairs of life, that him who did enlist him he may please;

in which I suffer evil -- unto bonds, as an evil-doer, but the word of God hath not been bound;

and their word as a gangrene will have pasture, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus,

and, even as Jannes and Jambres stood against Moses, so also these do stand against the truth, men corrupted in mind, disapproved concerning the faith;

but they shall not advance any further, for their folly shall be manifest to all, as theirs also did become.
