But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully,

who wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

(but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?),

but in case I am delayed, I write so that you will know how one should act in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth.

who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth.

Timothy, protect what has been entrusted to you, avoiding worldly, empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called “knowledge”—
