1 Timothy 6:19-21
New Catholic Bible
19 In this way, they will acquire the treasure of a good foundation for the future so that they will be able to grasp the life that is true life.
Conclusion[a]
20 Admonition to Timothy. My brother Timothy, guard carefully what has been entrusted to you.[b] Avoid the profane chatter and the contradictions of what is wrongly considered to be knowledge. 21 By professing it some people have strayed far from the faith.
Farewell. Grace be with all of you.[c]
Footnotes
- 1 Timothy 6:20 Once again one of the major themes of the Letter is highlighted in this Conclusion: guard the deposit of faith that has been entrusted to you.
- 1 Timothy 6:20 What has been entrusted to you: literally, “the deposit,” that is, sacred doctrine, the authentic Gospel (see 1 Tim 1:10-11; 2 Tim 1:13-14). Wrongly considered to be knowledge: the ensemble of doctrines that were taught by heretics and that on many points foreshadowed the Gnosticism of the second century.
- 1 Timothy 6:21 All of you: the plural indicates that this Letter was intended to be read to the whole community.

19 In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves(A) as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of(B) the life that is truly life.
20 Timothy, guard what has been entrusted(C) to your care. Turn away from godless chatter(D) and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, 21 which some have professed and in so doing have departed from the faith.(E)
Grace be with you all.(F)
