We are to abide in that which we have received from the Word of God. (“Exposition of 2 Timothy: 2 Timothy 3:10-17” by E. Dennett)

If the plural form (tinōn) be preferred, which certainly rests on very good and ancient witnesses, it was Paul not alone but with the rest of those whom the Lord chose to bear testimony to the grace and truth which came by Jesus Christ. The ancient versions lean with slight dissent to the singular (tinos) "whom," as in the T. R.
