1 Timothy 1:3-7

Modern English Version

Warning Against False Doctrine

³ As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, continue to remain at Ephesus so that you might command some to teach no other doctrine, ⁴ nor pay attention to fables and endless genealogies, which cause debates rather than godly edifying, which is in faith. ⁵ Now the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, and from a good conscience, and from sincere faith. ⁶ From this, some have lost their way and turned aside to empty talk, ⁷ desiring to be teachers of the law, and understanding neither what they say nor what they affirm.
