NASB
"and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,"
— 2 Timothy 2:17, NASB
“And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymeneus and Philetus;”
“and their word will eat as doth a gangrene: of whom is Hymenæus and Philetus; ”
“and their word will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;”
“and their message will spread its infection like gangrene. Hymenaeus and Philetus are in this group.”
“And their speech spreadeth like a canker: of whom are Hymeneus and Philetus:”
“And their words will be like poisoned wounds in the flesh: such are Hymenaeus and Philetus;”
“And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymeneus and Philetus;”
Remind them of these things, and solemnly charge them in the presence of God not to wrangle about words, which is useless and leads to the ruin of the hearers.
Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.
But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness,
and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
men who have gone astray from the truth saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and they upset the faith of some.
Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, "The Lord knows those who are His," and, "Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to abstain from wickedness."
Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood and of earthenware, and some to honor and some to dishonor.
