1 Timothy 1:3-7
Legacy Standard Bible
3 As I exhorted you when going to (A)Macedonia, [a]remain on at (B)Ephesus so that you may command certain ones not to (C)teach a different doctrine, 4 nor to [b]pay attention to (D)myths and endless (E)genealogies, which give rise to mere (F)speculation rather than furthering (G)the stewardship from God which is by faith. 5 But the goal of our (H)command is love (I)from a pure heart and a (J)good conscience and an unhypocritical (K)faith. 6 For some, straying from these things, 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.

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.
