2 Timothy 2:17 in Context — 2 Timothy 2

15 Procura con diligencia presentarte á Dios aprobado, [como] obrero que no tiene de qué avergonzarse, que traza bien la palabra de verdad.

16 Mas evita profanas [y] vanas parlerías; porque muy adelante irán en la impiedad.

17 Y la palabra de ellos carcomerá como gangrena: de los cuales es Himeneo y Fileto;

18 Que se han descaminado de la verdad, diciendo que la resurrección es ya hecha, y trastornan la fe de algunos.

19 Pero el fundamento de Dios está firme, teniendo este sello: Conoce el Señor á los que son suyos; y: Apártese de iniquidad todo aquel que invoca el nombre de Cristo.
