Verse 13
Timothy felt temptation to modify his message as well as to stop preaching it. Paul urged him therefore to continue preaching the same message he had heard from Paul and to do so with trust in God and love for people, which Jesus Christ would supply.
"With his usual skillful way with words, Paul is saying in effect that as God has guarded the deposit of his life (and will guard Timothy’s) so also Timothy must guard the deposit of the faithful account of the gospel that God has entrusted to him." [Note: Knight, p. 380.]
