10. Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the chosen, so they might obtain the salvation that is in Messiah Yeshua with eternal glory.
11. Trustworthy is the saying: If we died with Him, we will also live with Him;
12. if we endure, we will also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He will also deny us;
13. if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.
14. Remind them of these things and solemnly charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which is useless—to the ruin of those who are listening.
15. Make every effort to present yourself before God as tried and true, as an unashamed worker cutting a straight path with the word of truth.
16. But avoid godless chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness
17. and their words will spread like cancer. Among them are Hymeneaus and Philetus—
18. men who have missed the mark concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection has already taken place. They are overturning the faith of some.
19. Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord keep away from unrighteousness.”
