2 Timothy 2:16
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
But avoid irreverent, empty chatter, which will only lead to more ungodliness,
In context
14 Remind the believers of these things, charging them before God to avoid quarreling over words, which succeeds only in leading the listeners to ruin.
15 Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth.
16 But avoid irreverent, empty chatter, which will only lead to more ungodliness,
17 and the talk of such men will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
18 who have deviated from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already occurred, and they undermine the faith of some.
