1 Timothy 6:3

Context6:5 and constant bickering by people corrupted in their minds and deprived of the truth, who suppose that godliness 2 is a way of making a profit.

 
    	[6:3] 1 tn Grk “teaches other doctrines,” (different from apostolic teaching, cf. 1 Tim 1:3).
[6:5] 2 tc Although most witnesses, including some early versions and fathers (D2 Ψ Ï sy Cyp Lcf Ambst), have ἀφίστασο ἀπὸ τῶν τοιούτων (afistaso apo’ twn toioutwn, “stay away from such things!”) after εὐσεβείαν (eusebeian, “godliness”; thus, “who suppose that godliness is a way of making a profit; stay away from such things!”), there seems to be little good reason for this clause’s omission in some of the oldest and best witnesses (א A D* F G 048 6 33 81 1175 1739 1881 lat co). It is likely that it crept into the text early, perhaps as a marginal comment, but it should not be considered authentic in light of the strong external evidence against it.
