Timothy 6 2. 0 Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge,2. O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust. More literally and better rendered, O Timothy, keep the trust committed to thee. It is a beautiful thought which sees in these few earnest closing words the very handwriting of the worn and aged Apostle St. Bc0wJlkulcQNoRofDiTnBM0z0B4Y_WT40wOauLVA9SNM8Rlni5JHnBeQ70tbTjKgEVc' alt='The Treasury Of Scripture Knowledge' title='The Treasury Of Scripture Knowledge' />Paul. The Epistle, no doubt dictated by the old man, was in the handwriting of some friend of St. Paul and the Church, who acted as his scribe but, as seems to have been sometimes his habit see especially the closing words of the Galatian Letter, the last pleading reminder was added by the hand of the Apostle himself. O Timothy he writes now no longer addressing church or pastor, but his own favourite friend and pupil, the loved heir of his God inspired traditions and maxims, which so faithfully represented the doctrine and teaching of Jesus of Nazareth O Timothy, keep the sacred trust committed to thy charge. This sacred trust, so solemnly committed as the parting charge to Timothy, was the doctrine delivered by St. New International Version Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge. Paul to him to preach, the central point of which, we know from the Apostles other writings, was the teaching respecting the atonement and the precious blood of Christ. There is a beautiful, though somewhat lengthened, paraphrase of the Trust in the Commonitorium of Vincentius Lirinensis, composed about A. D. 4. 30. What is meant, he asks, by keep the trust The disciple of St. Paul must keep the sound doctrine of his master safe from robbers and foes. What is meant by the trust Something intrusted to you to keep not a possession you have discovered for yourself something you have received from another not what you have thought out for yourself. What, then, is the meaning of keep the trust It is surely nothing else than guard the treasure of the Catholic faith. Gold have you received see that you hand gold on to others. Is there, then, asks this same wise writer to be no progress, no development in religious teaching Yes, he answers there should be a real progress, a marked development, but it must partake of the nature of a progress, not of a change. Let religion in the soul follow the example of the growth of the various members which compose the body, and which, as years roll on, become ever stronger and more perfect, but which, notwithstanding their growth and developed beauty, always remain the same.

St. Paul, as tending to augment dissension and hatred, and to exalt into an undue prominence mere words and phrases. Oppositions of science falsely so called. Rather, of knowledge falsely so called. These oppositions have been supposed by some to be a special allusion to some of the Gnostic theories of the opposition between the Law and the Gospel, of which peculiar school, later, Marcion was the great teacher. It is hardly likely that any definite Gnostic teaching had as yet been heard in Ephesus, but there is little doubt that the seeds of much of the Gnosticism of the next century were when St. Paul wrote to Timothy being then sown in some of the Jewish schools of Ephesus and the neighbouring cities. Comp. the allusions to these Jewish and cabalistic schools in St. Pauls letter to the Colossian Church. The oppositions here may be understood as referring generally to the theories of the false teachers, who were undermining the doctrine of St. Paul as taught by Timothy.

Guard for keep is hardly an improvement. The meaning of keep, like that of, is to guard, keep watch over, and, by so doing, to preserve safe and uninjured. This meaning is well brought out in the familiar words of Psalm 1. He that keepeth thee will not slumber. He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord himself is thy Keeper so too Psalm 1. Genesis 2. 8 1. 5, etc. New Testament only in 2 Timothy 1 1. Lord Jesus Christ but in ver. That good thing which was committed unto thee guard keep, A. V. There does not seem to be any difference between and, which both mean a deposit, and are used indifferently in classical Greek, though the latter is the more common. The precept to Timothy here is to keep diligent and watchful guard over the faith committed to his trust to preserve it unaltered and uncorrupt, so as to hand it down to his successors exactly the same as he had received it.

Turning away from only here in the middle voice, turning from, avoiding, with a transitive sense. In the passive voice it means to turn out of the path, as in 1 Timothy 1 6 1 Timothy 5 1.

It is a term used in logic and in rhetoric by Plato, Aristotle, etc., for oppositions and antitheses, laying one doctrine by the side of another for comparison, or contrast, or refutation. It seems to allude to the particular method used by the heretics to establish their tenets, in opposition to the statements of the Church on particular points such as the Law, the Resurrection, etc. The knowledge which is falsely so called. There is a very similar intimation of the growth of an empty philosophy, whose teaching was antagonistic to the teaching of Christ in Colossians 2 8, and with which St. Paul contrasts the true in ver. This was clearly the germ called by Bishop Lightfoot Gnostic Judaism of what was later more fully developed as the Gnostic heresy, which, of course, derived its name from, knowledge or science, to which they laid claim see Bishop Lightfoots able Introduction to the Epistle to Colossians, specially p.

And it may also include his gifts for the ministration of it, which were to be kept in use, and stirred up, and not neglected, but cultivated and improved to the advantage of the church, and of the interest of Christ avoiding profane and vain babblings about the law, and circumcision, and other things, which the false teachers insisted much on, and amused their hearers with and which were vain, empty, useless, and unprofitable talk. Some copies, and so the Vulgate Latin version, read, profane newnesses of words or new words, which ought not to be introduced, for they often bring in new doctrines the form of sound words, the wholesome words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, the words which the Holy Ghost teacheth, should be held fast and especially all new words should be avoided, which are contrary to them, or in the least weaken them, or detract from them.
