that . . . trust . Greek. parakalatheke . Only here and 2 Timothy 1:14 . But the texts read paratheke in both places, thus agreeing with 2 Timothy 1:14 . Both words mean "deposit". The deposit entrusted to Timothy was the teaching regarding the Mystery (1 Timothy 3:16 ).
avoiding = turning aside from. See 1 Timothy 1:5 ; 1 Timothy 1:10 .
profane . Greek. bebelos . See 1 Timothy 1:9 .
and . Omit.
vain babblings . Greek. kenophdnirs . Only here and 2 Timothy 2:16 .
oppositions. Greek. antithesis . Only here.
science. App-132 .
falsely so called. Greek. pseudonumos . Only here. There is much science (knowledge) which does not deserve the name, being only speculation.
