15 You are aware that all who are in Asia ^kturned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

15 Do your best to ^fpresent yourself to God as one approved,¹ a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the ^gword of truth. 16 But ^havoid ⁱirreverent babble, for it will lead people into ^jmore and more ungodliness, 17 and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are ^kHymenaeus and Philetus, 18 who have ^lswerved from the truth, ^msaying that the resurrection has already happened. They are upsetting the faith of some.
