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. If they’re not backed by a godly life, they accumulate as poison in the soul. Hymenaeus and Philetus are examples, throwing believers off stride and missing the truth by a mile by saying the resurrection is over and done with.

2.18 Dicentes resurrectionem jam factam. Duæ sunt resurrectiones. Prima est quæ fit in anima per fidem, quando qui mortuus erat in infidelitate et aliis peccatis, per fidem et baptismum vivificatur. Altera, quæ erit corporum, quæ erit in die judicii. De illa resurrectione quæ fit in anima per fidem loquitur hic Apostolus, cum ait: Dicentes resurrectionem, mentium scilicet esse factam in baptismo, et in fide nullam resurrectionem corporum futuram. Omnes sectæ quæ religionem promittunt, concedunt resurrectionem mentium in fide. Aliter enim non viderentur audiendi. Volentes ergo credi sibi omnes etiam qui instituerunt alicujus falsæ religionis sectam, negare istam resurrectionem mentium non potuerunt, omnes de illa consenserunt. Sed corporum resurrectionem multi negaverunt, sicut isti quos nominat Apostolus.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

2:18 claiming that the resurrection of the dead has already occurred: Cp. 2 Thes 2:2. These false teachers might have twisted Paul’s own teaching on the resurrection of the dead (Rom 6:5; Gal 2:20; Eph 1:3; 2:6; 5:14; Col 2:12; 3:1-4) by teaching that they already fully participated in the heavenly life, and perhaps that physical resurrection would not occur. They could have concluded from this that one’s conduct in the body (i.e., morality) was irrelevant, since their mortal bodies could have no impact on their eternal spirits. Or, they could have gone the other way, toward world-denying asceticism (1 Tim 4:3; see Col 2:8, 16-23), with the idea that enjoyment of material things is inappropriate for resurrected, spiritual persons. These teachers might have understood from Jesus’ teachings (see Matt 19:10-12; 22:30) that marriage should be prohibited (1 Tim 4:3). Their teachings on the Old Testament law (1 Tim 1:7-11) might have led to the promotion of certain taboos. Their teachings might have involved an overly aggressive promotion of equality (see 2 Tim 3:6; cp. Gal 3:28; 1 Tim 2:11-15) in the belief that the age to come was already here. Their teaching might have focused exclusively on resurrection power, which would contradict Paul’s message of suffering and the cross (see 2 Tim 1:8, 12; 2:8-13; cp. 1 Cor 4:8-13; 2 Cor 12:8-10). Whatever its exact form, Paul describes their teaching as “worthless, foolish talk” (2 Tim 2:16).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

περὶ τὴν ἀλήθειαν ἠστόχησαν

concerning the truth deviated

Paul speaks as if the truth were a mark or target that these two men have missed. Paul means that these men have failed to maintain the truth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “have not remained in the truth” or “have ceased to have the truth”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

περὶ τὴν ἀλήθειαν

concerning the truth

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of truth, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “concerning what is true”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἀνάστασιν ἤδη γεγονέναι

/the/_resurrection already /to_have/_become

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of resurrection, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “that people have already resurrected”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀνατρέπουσιν τήν τινων πίστιν

/are/_overturning the ˱of˲_some faith

Here Paul speaks of faith as if it were an object that these two men could overturn. He means that they are disrupting or destroying people’s faith in Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “who tear down the faith of some” or “who cause some to lose their faith”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τήν τινων πίστιν

the ˱of˲_some faith

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of faith, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “how some believed” or “some who used to believe”
