1 Timothy 1:3-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ As I desired thee to remain at Ephesus when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some not to teach otherwise,

⁴ Not to give heed to fables and endless genealogies: which furnish questions rather than the edification of God, which is in faith.

⁵ Now the end of the commandment is charity, from a pure heart, and a good conscience, and an unfeigned faith.

⁶ From which things some going astray, are turned aside unto vain babbling:

⁷ Desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither the things they say, nor whereof they affirm.
