2 Timoteo 2:18

18 Ellos han abandonado el camino de la verdad al afirmar que la resurrección de los muertos ya ocurrió; de esa manera, desviaron de la fe a algunas personas.

2 Timoteo 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

saying, that the resurrection is past already;
and no other is to be expected; or that there was no future resurrection of the dead: their error was, as some think, that there is no other resurrection than that of parents in their children, who, though they die, live in their posterity; or than the resurrection of Christ, and of the saints, that rose at the same time; or rather, that there is no other resurrection than the spiritual one, or regeneration, which is a quickening of dead sinners, or the resurrection of them from the death of sin, to a life of grace; which seems to be the truest account of their principle, seeing this is what has been received and propagated by others since; though some have thought that they gave into the Palingenesia of the Pythagoreans, who supposed that when men die, their souls go into other bodies; and that these men imagined, that this is all the resurrection that will be: and others have been of opinion, that their notion was, that whereas the deliverance of the Jews out of the Babylonish captivity is signified by a resurrection of them, in ( Ezekiel 37:1-28 ) that this is the resurrection they meant was past, and no other to be looked for; but that which has been fixed upon seems to be the truest account:

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,

2 Timoteo 2:18 In-Context

16 Evita las conversaciones inútiles y necias, que solo llevan a una conducta cada vez más mundana.

17 Este tipo de conversaciones se extienden como el cáncer,
así como en el caso de Himeneo y Fileto.

18 Ellos han abandonado el camino de la verdad al afirmar que la resurrección de los muertos ya ocurrió; de esa manera, desviaron de la fe a algunas personas.

19 Sin embargo, la verdad de Dios se mantiene firme como una piedra de cimiento con la siguiente inscripción: «El Señor
conoce a los que son suyos»
, y «Todos los que pertenecen al Señor
deben apartarse de la maldad»
.
