This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Holding faith and a good conscience (echōn pistin kai agathēn suneidēsin). Possibly as a shield (Eph 6:16) or at any rate possessing (Rom 2:20) faith as trust and a good conscience. A leader expects them of his followers and must show them himself.
Having thrust from them (apōsamenoi). First aorist indirect middle participle of apōtheō, to push away from one. Old verb (see note on Rom 11:1.).
Made shipwreck (enauagēsan). First aorist active indicative of nauageō, old verb from nauagos (shipwrecked, naus, ship, agnumi, to break), to break a ship to pieces. In N.T. only here and 2Co 11:25.
Concerning the faith (peri tēn pistin). Rather, “concerning their faith” (the article here used as a possessive pronoun, a common Greek idiom).
