This is why I endure all things for the elect: so that they also may obtain salvation, which is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

They have deviated from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and are overturning the faith of some.

But reject foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they breed quarrels.

Then they may come to their senses and escape the Devil’s trap, having been captured by him to do his will.

But they will not make further progress, for their lack of understanding will be clear to all, as theirs was also.

For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, will multiply teachers for themselves because they have an itch to hear something new.

They will turn away from hearing the truth and will turn aside to myths.
