Greeting

2 To Timothy, a ^atrue son in the faith: ^bGrace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

No Other Doctrine

3 As I urged you ^awhen I went into Macedonia—remain in Ephesus that you may charge some ^bthat they teach no other doctrine,

4 ^anor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith.

John Wesley's Notes

<< 2 Thessalonians 3:18

1 Timothy 1:2 >>

Paul an apostle - Familiarity is to be set aside where the things of God are concerned. According to the commandment of God - The authoritative appointment of God the Father. Our Saviour - So styled in many other places likewise, as being the grand orderer of the whole scheme of our salvation. And Christ our hope - That is, the author, object, and ground, of all our hope.
