2 Timothy 1:11

1:11 For this gospel ¹  I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher. ² 

2 Timothy 1:14

1:14 Protect that good thing ³  entrusted to you, through the Holy Spirit who lives within us.

¹ tn Grk “for which.”

² tc Most mss (א² C D F G Ψ 1739 1881 Ï latt sy co) have ἐθνῶν (eqnwn, “of the Gentiles”) after “teacher.” The shorter reading has poorer external credentials (א* A I 1175 pc), but is preferred because ἐθνῶν probably represents a gloss added by copyists familiar with 1 Tim 2:7. There is no easy explanation for the omission of the word if it were original here.

³ sn That good thing (Grk “the good deposit”) refers to the truth of the gospel committed to Timothy (cf. 1 Tim 6:20).
