1 Timothy 6:21
Which some promising, have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. THE SECOND EPISTLE OF ST. PAUL TO TIMOTHY In this Epistle, the Apostle again instructs and admonishes Timothy in what belonged to his office, as in the former; and also warns him to shun the conversation of those who had erred from the truth, describing at the same time their character, He tells him of his approaching death and desires him to come speedily to him. It appears from this circumstance that he wrote this second Epistle in the time of his last imprisonment at Rome and not long before his martyrdom.
Douay-Rheims Bible (Challoner, 1752)
In The King James Version
Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
