1 Timothy 1:2-4
21st Century King James Version
2 Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
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!

1 Timothy 1:2-4
New International Version
2 To Timothy(A) my true son(B) in the faith:
Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.(C)
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.
