1 Timothy 1:3-11

21st Century King James Version

³ As I besought thee when I went into Macedonia to abide still at Ephesus, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,

⁴ neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which promote questions rather than godly edifying in the faith, so do!

⁵ Now the aim of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, with a good conscience and with faith unfeigned,

⁶ from which some have swerved and have turned aside unto vain jangling,

⁷ desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor whereof they affirm.

⁸ But we know that the law is good if a man use it lawfully,

⁹ knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

¹⁰ for whoremongers, for those who defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine

¹¹ according to the glorious Gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
