2 Timothy 1:13

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

2 Timothy 1:13. Hold fast the form of sound words,

Many say they have no creeds, and there is hardly an Epistle in which there is not a distinct mention of a creed.

2 Timothy 1:13. Which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Hold fast the truth. Hold fast the very form and shape of it. If you are to keep the life that is in an egg, you must not even break the shell. Take care of it all, and take care of it all the more when with specious reasoning they say, "We will hold the same truth, only in a different form." Why a different form at all, if they do not wish to hold a different doctrine altogether? Nay, my brethren, especially you that are like young Timothy, take this passage to heart. "Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus."
