Holding faith; holding fast the faith of the gospel, which has for its natural companion a good conscience.

Which; which good conscience.

Having put away; literally, having thrust away. They have willfully cast away a good conscience, and, as a natural consequence, concerning faith have made shipwreck; for he who allows his conscience to be defiled by sinful practices is prepared to reject the faith of the gospel, which opposes itself to every form of ungodliness.
