1 Timothy 1:4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. The very commendations which some people give of the so-called gospel they preach arouse our suspicion. When we hear of its recent and human origin, we at once begin to doubt its validity. We are reminded of the boy who went into a shop to change a sovereign. "Are you sure it is a good one?" asked the man behind the counter. "Oh, yes, quite sure, sir; for I seed father make it this morning." We do not believe in a gospel which was coined but this morning. We preach a gospel which was minted in heaven, which bears the image and superscription of Christ, which has the ring of true metal, and which will pass current in all the dominions of the King. (C. W. Townsend.) Parallel Verses KJV: Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. |
