v9
Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
There's a need for faithful teaching, because there are many false teachers who lead many people astray. They can be stopped by holding forth the true Word faithfully, which is able to exhort, convince, rebuke, and shut them up.
Application
I know that the context of this passage of speaking specifically about overseers, but I also think that these are things that all men should aspire to. I'll work on faithfulness in preaching the Word.
