20 O Timothy, take good care of that which is given to you, turning away from the wrong and foolish talk and arguments of that knowledge which is falsely so named;
20
Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge,
21 Through which some, who gave their minds to it, have been turned away from the faith. Grace be with you.
21
which some have professed and in so doing have departed from the faith. Grace be with you all.
