1 Timothy 1:2-4
English Standard Version
2 To Timothy, (A)my true child in the faith:
(B)Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Warning Against False Teachers
3 (C)As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not (D)to teach any different doctrine, 4 nor (E)to devote themselves to myths and endless (F)genealogies, which promote (G)speculations rather than the stewardship[a] from God that is by faith.

Timothy Charged to Oppose False Teachers
3 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia,(D) stay there in Ephesus(E) so that you may command certain people not to teach false doctrines(F) any longer 4 or to devote themselves to myths(G) and endless genealogies.(H) Such things promote controversial speculations(I) rather than advancing God’s work—which is by faith.
