1 Timothy 1:3-7
King James Version
3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.

1 Timothy 1:3-7
New King James Version
No Other Doctrine
3 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, 4 (C)nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith. 5 Now (D)the purpose of the commandment is love (E)from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from [b]sincere faith, 6 from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to (F)idle talk, 7 desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm.
