1 Timothy 1:2-4

New American Standard Bible

² To ^(A)Timothy, ^(B)my true ^[a]son in the faith: ^(C)Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and ^(D)Christ Jesus our Lord.

³ Just as I urged you ^[b]upon my departure for ^(E)Macedonia, to remain on at ^(F)Ephesus so that you would instruct certain people not to ^(G)teach strange doctrines, ⁴ nor to ^[c]pay attention to ^(H)myths and endless ^(I)genealogies, which give rise to useless ^(J)speculation rather than ^(K)advance ^[d]the plan of God, which is by faith, so I urge you now.
