6 Certain persons, by ^oswerving from these, have wandered away into ^pvain discussion,

19 ^pholding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting this, some have ^qmade shipwreck of their faith, 20 among whom are ^rHymenaeus and ^sAlexander, whom I ^thave handed over to Satan that they may learn not to ^ublaspheme.

Some Will Depart from the Faith

1 Now ^xthe Spirit expressly says that ^yin later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to ^zdeceitful spirits and teachings of demons,

6 but ⁱshe who is self-indulgent is ^jdead even while she lives.

8 But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for ^lmembers of his household, he has ^mdenied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

11 But refuse to enroll younger widows, for when ^rtheir passions draw them away from Christ, they desire to marry 12 and so incur condemnation for having abandoned their former faith.

15 ^xFor some have already strayed after Satan.

9 But ^fthose who desire to be rich fall into temptation, ^ginto a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that ^hplunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of ⁱall kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.
