| II Timothy 1:14
| Keep the good deposit by the Holy Ghost, who dwelleth in us.
| Keep the good (doctrine) deposited or committed{ Ver. 14. Bonum depositum custodi; ten kalen parakatatheken phulaxon.|} in trust to thee. This is different, though the word be the same, from what he spoke of, ver. 12. There he mentioned what he had committed and deposited in the hands of God; here he speaks of what God hath committed, and deposited in the hands of Timothy, after it was delivered to him by St. Paul and the other preachers of the gospel: that is, he speaks of the care Timothy must take to preserve the same sound doctrine, and to teach it to others. See 1 Timothy 6:20. (Witham)
