ExplanationCommentary
Verse 14. Keep the good (doctrine) deposited or committed [7] in trust to thee. This is different, though the word be the same, from what he spoke of, verse 12. There he mentioned what he had committed and deposited in the hands of God; here he speaks of what God hath committed, and deposited in the hands of Timothy, after it was delivered to him by Saint Paul and the other preachers of the gospel: that is, he speaks of the care Timothy must take to preserve the same sound doctrine, and to teach it to others. See 1 Timothy 6:20. Witham.
