Paul does not set forth the teaching that they were to follow the "first" organized church as a safeguard for the truth. Rather, he commits them to the safekeeping of "God and to the word of His grace" (v. 32).
Hindi ipinahayag ni Apostol Pablo ang katuruan na dapat sundin ang "unang" iglesya bilang sandigan ng katotohanan. Bagkus, iniutos niyang ipagkatiwala ang pangangalaga sa "Diyos at sa salita ng Kanyang Biyaya" (talata 32).
