1 Timothy 6:20. O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
1 Timothy 6:21. Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
Paul closes out his instructions and the entire epistle with a final appeal to Timothy to take care of his "trust" (v. 20). The gospel had been given to Timothy as a sacred trust to be guarded with his life and to be used for eternal good. The empty kinds of squabbles which were being forced upon him by the false, gnostic like teachers were to be avoided.
