1 Timothy 1:3-7
21st Century King James Version
3 As I besought thee when I went into Macedonia to abide still at Ephesus, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
4 neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which promote questions rather than godly edifying in the faith, so do!
5 Now the aim of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, with a good conscience and with faith unfeigned,
6 from which some have swerved and 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
American Standard Version
3 As I exhorted thee to tarry at Ephesus, when I was going into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge certain men not to teach a different doctrine, 4 neither to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questionings, rather than a [a]dispensation of God which is in faith; so do I now. 5 But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned: 6 from which things some having [b]swerved have turned aside unto vain talking; 7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor whereof they confidently affirm.
