This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Teacheth a different doctrine (heterodidaskalei). See note on 1Ti 1:3 for this verb, present active indicative here in condition of first class.

Consenteth not (mē proserchetai). Also condition of first class with mē instead of ou. Proserchomai (old verb, to come to, to approach, with dative) is common enough in N.T. (Heb 4:16; Heb 7:25, etc.), but in the metaphorical sense of coming to one’s ideas, assenting to, here only in N.T., but is so used in Philo and Irenaeus (Ellicott).

Sound words (hugiainousin logois). See note on 1Ti 1:10 for hugiainō.

The words of our Lord Jesus Christ (tois tou kuriou hēmōn Iēsou Christou). Either subjective genitive (the words from the Lord Jesus, a collection of his sayings in Lock’s opinion like 1Ti 5:18; Act 20:35, at least in the Spirit of Jesus as Act 16:7; 1Co 11:23) or objective genitive about Jesus like 2Ti 1:8; 1Co 1:18.

According to godliness (kata eusebeian). Promoting (designed for) godliness as in Tit 1:1.
