No Other Doctrine

As I urged you (A)when I went into Macedonia—remain in Ephesus that you may [a]charge some (B)that they teach no other doctrine, (C)nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith. Now (D)the purpose of the commandment is love (E)from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from [b]sincere faith, from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to (F)idle talk, desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm.

καθως παρεκαλεσα σε προσμειναι εν εφεσω πορευομενος εις μακεδονιαν ινα παραγγειλης τισιν μη ετεροδιδασκαλειν

μηδε προσεχειν μυθοις και γενεαλογιαις απεραντοις αιτινες ζητησεις παρεχουσιν μαλλον η οικοδομιαν θεου την εν πιστει

το δε τελος της παραγγελιας εστιν αγαπη εκ καθαρας καρδιας και συνειδησεως αγαθης και πιστεως ανυποκριτου

ων τινες αστοχησαντες εξετραπησαν εις ματαιολογιαν

θελοντες ειναι νομοδιδασκαλοι μη νοουντες μητε α λεγουσιν μητε περι τινων διαβεβαιουνται

And the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned,

from which certain, having swerved, did turn aside to vain discourse,

willing to be teachers of law, not understanding either the things they say, nor concerning what they asseverate,
