{Not purloining} (m(8820)nosphizomenous). Present middle
participle of 
osphiz(935c), old verb (from 
osphi, apart), in
middle to set apart for oneself, to embezzle, in N.T. only here
and  Ac 5:2f . {Fidelity} (pistin). See  Ga 5:22  1Ti 5:12  for
pistis in the sense of faithfulness. Nowhere else in the N.T.
do we have agath(885c) with pistis as here, but an Oxyr. papyrus
(iii. 494, 9) has this very phrase (p(8373)an pistin
endeiknumen(8869)). Westcott and Hort put agap(886e) in the margin.
See  3:2 . {That they may adorn} (hina kosm(9373)in). Final clause
with hina and present active subjunctive. See  1Ti 2:9  for
kosme(935c). Paul shows slaves how they may "adorn" the teaching of
God.
