¹ tn In Greek this continues the same sentence from v. 18, a participle showing the means by which Timothy will accomplish his task: Grk “fight the good fight, holding firmly…”

² tn Grk “avoiding.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

³ tn Or “contradictions.”

⁴ tn Grk “the falsely named knowledge.”
