Commentary
If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.
Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
