2 Timothy 2:17 in Context — 2 Timothy 2

15 Procura apresentar-te aprovado a Deus[como] um trabalhador que não tem de que se envergonhar, que usa bem a palavra da verdade.

16 Mas evita conversas profanas [e] inútes; pois tendem a produzir maior irreverência.

17 E a palavra deles se espalhará como uma gangrena; entre os quais são Himeneu e Fileto.

18 Esses se desviaram da verdade, dizendo que a ressurreição já aconteceu; e perverteram a fé de alguns.

19 Porém o fundamento de Deus continua firme, e tem este selo: o Senhor conhece os que são seus, e que todo aquele que faz uso do nome de Cristo, se afaste da injustiça.
