21 which some have professed and in so doing have departed from the faith. Grace be with you all.
21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
21 for by professing it some have swerved from the faith. Grace be with you.
21 People caught up in a lot of talk can miss the whole point of faith. Overwhelming grace keep you!
21 by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.
21 Some people have wandered from the faith by following such foolishness. May God's grace be with you all.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Timothy 6:21
Commentary on 1 Timothy 6:17-21
(Read 1 Timothy 6:17-21)
Being rich in this world is wholly different from being rich towards God. Nothing is more uncertain than worldly wealth. Those who are rich, must see that God gives them their riches; and he only can give to enjoy them richly; for many have riches, but enjoy them poorly, not having a heart to use them. What is the best estate worth, more than as it gives opportunity of doing the more good? Showing faith in Christ by fruits of love, let us lay hold on eternal life, when the self-indulgent, covetous, and ungodly around, lift up their eyes in torment. That learning which opposes the truth of the gospel, is not true science, or real knowledge, or it would approve the gospel, and consent to it. Those who advance reason above faith, are in danger of leaving faith. Grace includes all that is good, and grace is an earnest, a beginning of glory; wherever God gives grace, he will give glory.
