1 Timothy 1:3-7 ▼

3 I repeat the request I made of you when I was on my way to Macedonia, that you stay in Ephesus to instruct certain people not to teach false doctrines

4 or to concern themselves with myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the plan of God that is to be received by faith.

5 The aim of this instruction is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith.

6 Some people have deviated from these and turned to meaningless talk,

7 wanting to be teachers of the law, but without understanding either what they are saying or what they assert with such assurance.
