in which I suffer even to chains as an evil doer; but the word of God is not bound.

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a workman that will not be put to shame, rightly dividing the word of truth.

and their word will eat like a gangrene; of whom are Hymenaeus and Philetus,

preach the word, press it in season, out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all long-suffering and instruction;

but the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that the word should be fully declared by me, and all the nations should hear, and I was delivered from the mouth of the lion.
