S2-126 FAITHFUL MEN

The continuity of Christ’s church is dependant on the leadership of faithful men whose hearts are committed to the work of God. Thus, Paul wrote these instructions to his son in the faith. "The things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also" (2Timothy 2:2). In modern vernacular, "The things [the doctrine, the precepts, the admonitions, the sum of my ministry] which you have heard me teach in the presence of many witnesses, entrust [as a treasure] to reliable and faithful men who will also be capable and qualified to teach others" (AMP).
