<t /><p class="bodytext">Remind people<n id="1" /> of these things and solemnly charge them<n id="2" /> before the Lord<n id="3" /> not to wrangle over words. This is of no benefit; it just brings ruin on those who listen.<n id="4" />

But avoid profane chatter,<n id="1" /> because those occupied with it will stray further and further into ungodliness,<n id="2" />

But evil people and charlatans will go from bad to worse,<n id="1" /> deceiving others and being deceived themselves.<n id="2" />

And they will turn away from hearing the truth, but on the other hand they will turn aside to myths.<n id="1" />

But they will not go much further,<n id="1" /> for their foolishness will be obvious to everyone, just like it was with Jannes and Jambres.<n id="2" />p>
