(E)What has straw in common with wheat? declares the Lord. 29 (F)Is not my word like fire, declares the Lord, and (G)like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces? 30 (H)Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, declares the Lord, who steal my words from one another. 31 Behold, I am against the prophets, declares the Lord, who use their tongues and declare, ‘declares the Lord.’ 32 Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, declares the Lord, and who tell them and (I)lead my people astray by their lies and their recklessness, when (J)I did not send them or charge them. So they do not profit this people at all, declares the Lord.

Whoever abides in the teaching (G)has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, (H)do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, 11 for whoever greets him (I)takes part in his wicked works.

8 Remember Jesus Christ, (B)risen from the dead, the (C)offspring of David, (D)as preached in my gospel, 9 (E)for which I am suffering, (F)bound with chains as a criminal. But (G)the word of God is not bound! 10 Therefore (H)I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain (I)the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with (J)eternal glory. 11 The saying is (K)trustworthy, for:
(L)If we have died with him, we will also (M)live with him;
12 (N)if we endure, we will also reign with him;
(O)if we deny him, he also will deny us;
13 (P)if we are faithless, (Q)he remains faithful—
for (R)he cannot deny himself.
A Worker Approved by God
14 Remind them of these things, and (S)charge them before God[a] (T)not to quarrel about words, (U)which does no good, but only ruins the hearers. 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved,[b] a worker (V)who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. 16 But (W)avoid (X)irreverent babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness, 17 and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are (Y)Hymenaeus and Philetus, 18 who have swerved from the truth, (Z)saying that the resurrection has already happened. They are upsetting the faith of some.
