提摩太後書 2:18 Meaning and Commentary

2 Timothy 2:18

Who concerning the truth have erred
That is, the two persons just mentioned; they fell from the truth, wandered and departed from it; they did not keep to the Scriptures of truth, but deviated from them; they missed that mark, and went astray into gross errors and mistakes; rejected the Gospel, the word of truth, in general, and particularly in

and overthrow the faith of some;
the Ethiopic version reads, "of many"; that is, of nominal professors of religion; not of true believers, for true faith cannot be overthrown. Hence it follows,

提摩太後書 2:18 In-Context

16 但 要 遠 避 世 俗 的 虛 談 ， 因 為 這 等 人 必 進 到 更 不 敬 虔 的 地 步 。

17 他 們 的 話 如 同 毒 瘡 ， 越 爛 越 大 ； 其 中 有 許 米 乃 和 腓 理 徒 ，

18 他 們 偏 離 了 真 道 ， 說 復 活 的 事 已 過 ， 就 敗 壞 好 些 人 的 信 心 。

19 然 而 ， 神 堅 固 的 根 基 立 住 了 ； 上 面 有 這 印 記 說 ： 主 認 識 誰 是 他 的 人 ； 又 說 ： 凡 稱 呼 主 名 的 人 總 要 離 開 不 義 。

20 在 大 戶 人 家 ， 不 但 有 金 器 銀 器 ， 也 有 木 器 瓦 器 ； 有 作 為 貴 重 的 ， 有 作 為 卑 賤 的 。
