And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.

and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.

You have heard me teach things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others.

What you have heard from me  in the presence of many witnesses, commit to faithful  men  who will be able to teach others also.

And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

So, my son, throw yourself into this work for Christ. Pass on what you heard from me—the whole congregation saying Amen!—to reliable leaders who are competent to teach others. When the going gets rough, take it on the chin with the rest of us, the way Jesus did. A soldier on duty doesn’t get caught up in making deals at the marketplace. He concentrates on carrying out orders. An athlete who refuses to play by the rules will never get anywhere. It’s the diligent farmer who gets the produce. Think it over. God will make it all plain.

The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful people who will be able to teach others also.

The things [the doctrine, the precepts, the admonitions, the sum of my ministry] which you have heard me teach in the presence of many witnesses, entrust [as a treasure] to reliable and faithful men who will also be capable and qualified to teach others.

And entrust what you heard me say in the presence of many others as witnesses to faithful people who will be competent to teach others as well.
