In 1 Timothy 6:20, ψευδωνύμου is a genitive singular feminine adjective attached to the knowledge named in the clause; the APB renders the phrase “the falsely called knowledge” while warning Timothy away from its oppositions.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Timothy 6:20, the APB presents the phrase as “the falsely called knowledge.” This indicates the clause-level presentation rather than a precise English-token mapping.
