2 Timothy 2:18

2:18 They have strayed from the truth ¹  by saying that the resurrection has already occurred, and they are undermining some people’s faith.

2 Timothy 2:2

2:2 And entrust what you heard me say ²  in the presence of many others as witnesses ³  to faithful people ⁴  who will be competent ⁵  to teach others as well.

¹ tn Grk “have deviated concerning the truth.”

² tn Grk “what you heard from me” (cf. 1:13).

³ tn Grk “through many witnesses.” The “through” is used here to show attendant circumstances: “accompanied by,” “in the presence of.”

⁴ tn Grk “faithful men”; but here ἀνθρώποις (anqrwpoi") is generic, referring to both men and women.

⁵ tn Or “able” (see Paul’s use of this word in regard to ministry in 2 Cor 2:16; 3:5-6).
