17Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Here is the charge he gives to Timothy to proceed in his work with resolution, Ti1 1:18. Observe here, The gospel is a charge committed to the ministers of it; it is committed to their trust, to see that it be duly applied according to the intent and meaning of it, and the design of its great Author.
