O Timothy, guard that which is committed unto (thee), turning away from the profane babblings and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called;
For which cause I suffer also these things: yet I am not ashamed; for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed unto him against that day.
Hold the pattern of sound words which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
