< 2 Timothy KWL. >

14 Remind them of these things, objecting (before God) against overanalyzing words.

It profits no one; it’s a catastrophe for listeners.

15 Push yourself to stand before God as worthy:

A worker who doesn’t embarrass himself, who uses the word of truth properly.

16 Stay clear of unholy talk or foolishness,

for it’ll grow more ungodly behavior, 17 and their words will spread like rot on a field.

Yménaios and Fílitos are examples, 18 who went way off center about the truth,

saying the resurrection already happened, overturning certain people’s faith.

19 Still, God’s solid foundation stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows who’s his,” Nu 16.5

and “Get away from wrongness, everyone who names the Lord’s name.” Is 52.11

16 Every inspired scripture is also useful for teaching,

for disproving, for correcting, for instruction in rightness.

3 Time will come when people won’t put up with solid teaching.

Instead, those with this infection will collect teachers to listen to who stroke their ears.

4 They’ll abandon listening to truth, and chase myths.
