MSG ^(14-18)Repeat these basic essentials over and over to God’s people. Warn them before God against pious nitpicking, which chips away at the faith. It just wears everyone out. Concentrate on doing your best for God, work you won’t be ashamed of, laying out the truth plain and simple. Stay clear of pious talk that is only talk. Words are not mere words, you know.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὁ λόγος αὐτῶν

the word ˱of˲_them

Here, word represents what people communicate using words. In this case, Paul is referring specifically to the “profane empty sayings” to which he referred in 2:16. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [their sayings] or [their message]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

ὡς γάγγραινα νομὴν ἕξει

as gangrene spreading /will_be/_having

Paul is saying that profane empty sayings will spread like gangrene because both these sayings and gangrene spread quickly and are dangerous. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [will spread quickly and destroy things, just as gangrene does]

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

γάγγραινα

gangrene

The word gangrene refers to a type of tissue death caused by infection or lack of blood circulation. The type of gangrene that Paul is referring to can spread quickly through a person’s body and can lead to death. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of infection, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [a contagious infection] or [a deadly disease]

Note 4 topic: translate-names

Ὑμέναιος, καὶ Φίλητος

Hymeneus and Philetus

The words Hymenaeus and Philetus are names of men.
