← 2 Timothy 2:16	2 Timothy 2:17 (KJV)	2 Timothy 2:18 →
But shun profane [and] vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.	And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;	Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
