Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Timothy 2:14

14 Of these things put them in remembrance , charging them before the Lord , that they strive not about words to no profit , but to the subverting of the hearers .

That is, put other Teachers in remembrance of all these things which I have given thee in charge.

Charging them, as in the sight of God, who most certainly observeth and taketh notice of them, and will call them to an account.

That they spend not their time in their Pulpits in contests about words which tend to no solid advantage of their hearers.

But may tend to the subversion of them, and the destroying their steddiness in the Faith, drawing them into Parties and Factions, the fruit of which is nothing but envy, and contentions, and different opinions in matters of Faith; as to which it hath been alwaies observed, that the affectation of new phrases hath been introductive, of a novelty in opinion.
