1 Timothy 6:20-21

Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, which some have professed and in so doing have wandered from the faith. Grace be with you.

Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care
2 Timothy 1:11-14 Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us; if we are faithless, he will remain faithful, for he cannot disown himself. Keep reminding them of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen.

Turn away from godless chatter
2 Timothy 2:16 Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly.

which some have professed and in so doing have wandered from the faith
1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
2 Timothy 2:18 ... who have wandered away from the truth. They say that the resurrection, has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some.

Grace be with you
Colossians 4:18 I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.
