If someone teaches a different doctrine and does not adhere to the healthy words of our Lord Jesus Christ (Christou | Χριστοῦ | gen sg masc) and the teaching that is according to godliness,

For those who serve well are acquiring a good standing for themselves and great confidence in faith, which is in Christ (Christō | Χριστῷ | dat sg masc) Jesus.
