1 Timothy 1:3-7

New King James Version

No Other Doctrine

³As 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. ⁵Now ^(D)the purpose of the commandment is love ^(E)from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from ^[b]sincere faith, ⁶from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to ^(F)idle talk, ⁷desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm.

ΠΡΟΣ ΤΙΜΟΘΕΟΝ Α΄ 1:3-7

1894 Scrivener New Testament

³καθως παρεκαλεσα σε προσμειναι εν εφεσω πορευομενος εις μακεδονιαν ινα παραγγειλης τισιν μη ετεροδιδασκαλειν

⁴μηδε προσεχειν μυθοις και γενεαλογιαις απεραντοις αιτινες ζητησεις παρεχουσιν μαλλον η οικοδομιαν θεου την εν πιστει

⁵το δε τελος της παραγγελιας εστιν αγαπη εκ καθαρας καρδιας και συνειδησεως αγαθης και πιστεως ανυποκριτου

⁶ων τινες αστοχησαντες εξετραπησαν εις ματαιολογιαν

⁷θελοντες ειναι νομοδιδασκαλοι μη νοουντες μητε α λεγουσιν μητε περι τινων διαβεβαιουνται

1 Timothy 1:3-7

Young's Literal Translation

³according as I did exhort thee to remain in Ephesus -- I going on to Macedonia -- that thou mightest charge certain not to teach any other thing,

⁴nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, that cause questions rather than the building up of God that is in faith: --

⁵And the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned,

⁶from which certain, having swerved, did turn aside to vain discourse,

⁷willing to be teachers of law, not understanding either the things they say, nor concerning what they asseverate,

1 Timothy 1:3-7

New American Standard Bible

³Just 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, ⁴nor 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. ⁵But the goal of our ^[d]^(H)instruction is love ^(I)from a pure heart, from a ^(J)good conscience, and from a sincere ^(K)faith. ⁶Some people have strayed from these things and have turned aside to ^(L)fruitless discussion, ⁷^(M)wanting to be ^(N)teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions.
