20O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid irreverent, empty chatter and the opposing arguments of so-called “knowledge,”
21which some have professed and thus swerved away from the faith. Grace be with you all.
Focused Passage
1 Timothy 6:20-21
Godliness, Contentment, the Good Fight, and Guarding the Entrusted Gospel
Paul moves from gospel-shaped conduct under slavery, to exposing false teachers and greed, to commending godliness with contentment, to charging Timothy to fight the good fight, to instructing the wealthy, and finally to guarding the entrusted truth.
