v.14
14 Remind them of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers.
What things?
11 The saying is trustworthy, for: If we have died with him, we will also live with him;
12 if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us;
13 if we are faithless, he remains faithful— for he cannot deny himself.
-remind
-charge them before God, hold them accountable
21 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels I charge you to keep these rules without prejudging, doing nothing from partiality.
13 I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who in his testimony before Pontius Pilate made the good confession,
1 I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:
-quit fussing about words, what was this about?
-how do you argue about the truth of God’s Word with the reasoning of man which is demonic?
-does not mean to give up giving a defense for the Word of God, but not to wage in a war of words
-essentially preach the gospel and do not get caught up in arguments
possibly 2 Timothy 1:16-18
16 But avoid irreverent babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness,
17 and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
18 who have swerved from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already happened. They are upsetting the faith of some.
13 Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
Why not dispute?
-no good result - for nothing useful
-ruins the hearers
v. 15
15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
-Timothy was to set the example
-three features:
1 Strive to please God
2 be a servant and not ashamed
3 deliver the message of truth
v.16
16 But avoid irreverent babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness,
-avoid ungodly chatter
20 O Timothy, guard the deposit entrusted to you. Avoid the irreverent babble and contradictions of what is falsely called “knowledge,”
v.17
17 and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
-spread - pasture, medical term for a progressive disease
-gangrene - cancer
-exposed two heretics: Hymenaeus
20 among whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme.
v.18
18 who have swerved from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already happened. They are upsetting the faith of some.
-resurrection had already taken place, some mystical resurrection, probably taught their would be no physical resurrection
14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain.
15 We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised.
v.19
19 But God’s firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.”
-what is the firm foundation?
15 if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth.
18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
-seal - attests ownership
1 God knows His children, protects them and guides them
2 God’s children pursues holiness
