Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: |
having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck, |
keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have thrust the latter aside and so have made shipwreck of their faith. |
|
holding on to faith and a good conscience. Some have rejected these and so have shipwrecked their faith. |
Holding fast to faith (that leaning of the entire human personality on God in absolute trust and confidence) and having a good (clear) conscience. By rejecting and thrusting from them [their conscience], some individuals have made shipwreck of their faith. |
Holding faith and a good conscience, which [latter] certain having thrust from themselves concerning the Faith, have suffered shipwreck, |
|
armed only with your faith and a clear conscience. Some have laid these simple weapons contemptuously aside and, as far as their faith is concerned, have run their ships on the rocks. |
by keeping your hold on faith and a good conscience; for some have thrust the latter aside and so have made shipwreck of their faith. |

- My Son, My Son; Twisted Scriptures - Neil Girrard - ( in Adobe/pdf format ) The “spiritual fathering” teachers, from Paul and Peter calling Timothy, Titus, Onesimus and Mark their “sons,” have concocted a teaching that says that all men must have a “spiritual father” and any one who does not have one is an orphan who is destitute of any real place in the order and family of God. Is this the truth?
- One Hundred and Seven Theses - Steve Camp Christianity today is increasingly dominated by the spirit of this age rather than the Spirit of Christ. We call ourselves to repent of this sin and to recover the historic Christian faith in the arts again.
