There must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may
be made manifest among you.
For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord
commendeth.
Strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the
hearers. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that
needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun
profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more
ungodliness. And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is
Hymenaeus and Philetus; Who concerning the truth have erred, saying
that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The
Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name
of Christ depart from iniquity.
