2 Timothy 2:17

2:17 and their message will spread its infection ¹  like gangrene. Hymenaeus and Philetus are in this group. ² 

2 Timothy 3:2

3:2 For people ³  will be lovers of themselves, ⁴  lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,

[2:17]  ¹ tn Or “eat away.”

[2:17]  ² tn Grk “of whom are Hymenaeus and Philetus.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, this last clause has been made a new sentence in the translation.

[3:2]  ³ tn Grk “men”; but here ἄνθρωποι (anqrwpoi) is generic, referring to both men and women.

[3:2]  ⁴ tn Or “self-centered.” The first two traits in 2 Tim 3:2 and the last two in 3:4 are Greek words beginning with the root “lovers of,” and so bracket the list at beginning and end.
