Conclusion
6:20O Timothy, protect what has been entrusted to you. Avoid31 the profane chatter and absurdities32 of so-called “knowledge.”336:21By professing it, some have strayed from the faith.34 Grace be with you all.35
Footnotes
- 31 Grk “avoiding.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
- 32 Or “contradictions.”
- 33 Grk “the falsely named knowledge.”
- 34 Grk “have deviated concerning the faith.”
- 35 Most witnesses (א2 D1 Ψ 𝔐 sy) conclude this letter with ἀμήν (amēn, “amen”). Such a conclusion is routinely added by scribes to NT books because a few of these books originally had such an ending (cf. Rom 16:27; Gal 6:18; Jude 25). A majority of Greek witnesses have the concluding ἀμήν in every NT book except Acts, James, and 3 John (and even in these books, ἀμήν is found in some witnesses). It is thus a predictable variant. Further, the earliest and best witnesses (א* A D* F G 33 81 1739* 1881 it sa) lack the particle, indicating that the letter concluded with “Grace be with you all.” Grk “with you” (but the Greek pronoun indicates the meaning is plural here).
