“If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;”
Teach and urge these things. If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness — Paul establishes orthodoxy's two-fold criterion: (1) consonance with the words (logoi) of Christ, and (2) alignment with didaskalia that produces eusebia (godliness). False doctrine fails both tests.
