This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

1Ti 6:21. Περὶ τὴν πίστιν ἠστόχησαν, they have erred concerning the faith) Although they attempt to appropriate to themselves ἐπισήμην, science, and γνῶσιν, knowledge, 1Ti 6:4; 1Ti 6:20, and its εὐστοχίαν, accurate reasoning [hitting the mark, opposed to ἀστοχέω, I miss the mark, err] and sagacity, yet they have lost the true sagacity, which is connected with faith, not comprehending what is to be believed, and what it is to believe; comp. 2Ti 3:7-8.-ἡ χάρις, grace) not unknown to thee. He briefly indicates it.-μετὰ σοῦ, with thee) No salutations to others are here added, for the epistle was not to be read in public.[56]
