2 TIMOTHY—NOTE ON 2 Timothy 2:17 spread like gangrene. This phrase pictures the false teaching killing as it spreads. This is in contrast to the “healthy” or “sound” teaching of Paul (see note on 1 Tim. 1:10; also 2 Timothy 4:3; Titus 1:9). Hymenaeus was mentioned as a false teacher in 1 Timothy 1:20. Philetus is not mentioned elsewhere.
