And those words will consume like gangrene,
of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
And their word will eat as doth a canker:
of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
Timothy 2:17 And their message will spread like canker or gangrene:
of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
Timothy 2:17 And their word will eat as does a canker:
of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
Just prior
to the statement found at 2 Timothy 2: 19, the apostle Paul mentioned Hymenaeus and Philetus.
Hymenaeus and Philetus are mentioned as men who subverted the faith of some
and whose empty speeches‘ violated what is holy.
For one thing, two individuals, Hymenaeus and Philetus, were“ subverting the faith of some,” teaching
that‘ the resurrection had already occurred.
Paul cautioned of the apostatizing effects that will appear from within the church, like those of Demas(2 Timothy 4:10),
Hymenaeus and Philetus(2 Timothy 2:17).
