1 Timothy 1:3-4
New American Standard Bible
3 Just as I urged you [a]upon my departure for (A)Macedonia, to remain on at (B)Ephesus so that you would instruct certain people not to (C)teach strange doctrines, 4 nor to [b]pay attention to (D)myths and endless (E)genealogies, which give rise to useless (F)speculation rather than (G)advance [c]the plan of God, which is by faith, so I urge you now.

Abandonment of Faith
4 But (A)the Spirit explicitly says that (B)in later times some will [a]fall away from the faith, paying attention to (C)deceitful spirits and (D)teachings of demons, 2 by means of the hypocrisy of liars (E)seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, 3 who (F)forbid marriage and advocate (G)abstaining from foods which (H)God has created to be (I)gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth.

New American Standard Bible
3 If anyone (A)advocates a different doctrine and does not [a]agree with (B)sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine (C)conforming to godliness, 4 he is (D)conceited and understands nothing; but he [b]has a sick craving for (E)controversial questions and (F)disputes about words, from which come envy, strife, abusive language, evil suspicions, 5 and constant friction between (G)people of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who (H)suppose that [c]godliness is a means of gain.
