This thou knowest, that all they who are in Asia are turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they contend not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.

But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase to more ungodliness.

But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they gender contentions.

And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

For of this sort are they who creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts;

But they shall proceed no further: for their folly will be manifest to all men, as theirs also was.

For the time will come, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts will they multiply to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

And they will turn away their ears from the truth, and will be turned to fables.
