2 Timothy 2:19
KJV
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
NIV
Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.”
The KJV simply calls for those who name Christ to depart from iniquity, while some modern versions add the word “must,” implying a mandatory requirement for salvation rather than a voluntary response to faith.
