‏ 1 Timothy 6:3

 Teacheth a different doctrine ( ετεροδιδασκαλε ). See 1:3 for this verb, present active indicative here in condition of first class.

 Consenteth not ( μη προσερχετα ). Also condition of first class with  μη instead of  ου.  Προσερχομα (old verb, to come to, to approach, with dative) is common enough in N.T. (Heb 4:16; 7:25, etc.), but in the metaphorical sense of coming to one's ideas, assenting to, here only in N.T., but is so used in Philo and Irenaeus (Ellicott).

 Sound words ( υγιαινουσιν λογοις ). See 1:10 for  υγιαινω.

 The words of our Lord Jesus Christ ( τοις του κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου ). Either subjective genitive (the words from the Lord Jesus, a collection of his sayings in Lock's opinion like 5:18; Ac 20:35, at least in the Spirit of Jesus as Ac 16:7; 1Co 11:23) or objective genitive about Jesus like 2Ti 1:8; 1Co 1:18.

 According to godliness ( κατα ευσεβειαν ). Promoting (designed for) godliness as in Tit 1:1.
