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 3:9

3:9 But they will not go much further, ³  for their foolishness will be obvious to everyone, just like it was with Jannes and Jambres. ⁴ 

[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.

[3:9]  ³ tn Grk “for they will not progress any more.”

[3:9]  ⁴ tn Grk “as theirs came to be,” referring to the foolishness of Jannes and Jambres. The referent of “theirs” (Jannes and Jambres) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
