1 Timothy 1:3-7 ▼

3 At my departure from Macedonia, I advised you to stay at Ephesus in order to charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine,

4 or trouble their heads with fables and endless genealogies, which rather promote disputes than the gospel-dispensation:

5 such a charge will produce that charity, which arises from purity, from a good conscience, and a sincere belief:

6 for want of which, some have lost themselves in frivolous disputes,

7 pretending to be doctors of the law, tho' they neither understand what they advance, nor upon what it is founded.
