"O Timotheus, keep the entrusted deposit, avoiding profane, vain babblings,
and oppositions [ANTIQESEIS] of false-named knowledge [GNWSEWS]." (1 Timothy
6:20, Darby)

Marcion was known as a gnostic and wrote a book titled the Antitheses.
Where can I find the best refutation (or exposition) of the idea that this
verse may be a reference to Marcion?

Obviously, this is not a reference to Marcion if the letter were genuine
Paul, but what considerations can be brought to bear if pseudonymity is not
ruled out?

thanks,
Peter Kirby
