If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

Teach otherwise - that I desire thee to "teach" (1 Timothy 6:2). The Greek indicative implies, he puts not a supposed case, but one actually existing (1 Timothy 1:3, 'everyone who teaches otherwise') - i:e., heterodoxically.

Consent not, [ proserchetai (G4334)] - 'accede not to.'

Wholesome - sound (1 Timothy 1:10). The false teachers' words were unsound through profitless science and immorality.

Words of our Lord Jesus - Paul's inspired words are not merely his own, but also Christ's words.
