In context

14Remind the believers of these things, charging them before God to avoid quarreling over words, which succeeds only in leading the listeners to ruin.

15Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth.

16But avoid irreverent, empty chatter, which will only lead to more ungodliness,

17And the talk of such men will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,

18Who have deviated from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already occurred, and they undermine the faith of some.
