14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,
14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom
14 But don't let it faze you. Stick with what you learned and believed, sure of the integrity of your teachers -
14 But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them,
14 But you must remain faithful to the things you have been taught. You know they are true, for you know you can trust those who taught you.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Timothy 3:14
Commentary on 2 Timothy 3:14-17
(Read 2 Timothy 3:14-17)
Those who would learn the things of God, and be assured of them, must know the Holy Scriptures, for they are the Divine revelation. The age of children is the age to learn; and those who would get true learning, must get it out of the Scriptures. They must not lie by us neglected, seldom or never looked into. The Bible is a sure guide to eternal life. The prophets and apostles did not speak from themselves, but delivered what they received of God, 2 Peter 1:21. It is profitable for all purposes of the Christian life. It is of use to all, for all need to be taught, corrected, and reproved. There is something in the Scriptures suitable for every case. Oh that we may love our Bibles more, and keep closer to them! then shall we find benefit, and at last gain the happiness therein promised by faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the main subject of both Testaments. We best oppose error by promoting a solid knowledge of the word of truth; and the greatest kindness we can do to children, is to make them early to know the Bible.
