2 Tim 2:6-9 : 6 It is right for the worker in the fields to be the first to take of the fruit. 7 Give thought to what I say; for the Lord will give you wisdom in all things. 8 Keep in mind Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, who came back from the dead, as my good news gives witness: 9 In which I put up with the hardest conditions, even prison chains, like one who has done a crime; but the word of God is not in chains. 10 But I undergo all things for the saints, so that they may have salvation in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11 This is a true saying: If we undergo death with him, then will we be living with him: 12 If we go on to the end, then we will be ruling with him: if we say we have no knowledge of him, then he will say he has no knowledge of us: 13 If we are without faith, still he keeps faith, for he will never be untrue to himself. 14 Put these things before them, giving them orders in the name of the Lord to keep themselves from fighting about words, which is of no profit, only causing error in their hearers. 15 Let it be your care to get the approval of God, as a workman who has no cause for shame, giving the true word in the right way. 16 But take no part in wrong and foolish talk, for those who do so will go farther into evil, 17 And their words will be like poisoned wounds in the flesh: such are Hymenaeus and Philetus; 18 Men whose ideas are all false, who say that the coming back from the dead has even now taken place, overturning the faith of some.
