Commentary

Commentary on 2 Timothy 2:16

Theological / Devotional

Shun. Or, “avoid,” “turn away from” (see Titus 3:9). Trivial and fanciful topics are not to be considered as worthy of the faithful Christian’s time. His back is to be turned upon all such chatter.

Profane and vain babblings. See on 1 Tim. 6:20.

They. Either the “vain babblings” or those who teach such empty talk.

Increase. Improper handling of the Word of God always leads to further and more severe harm both to the unwise teacher and to the church body. Truth alone leads to godliness and harmony among church members.
