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.

Warning Against False Teachers
3 (A)As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not (B)to teach any different doctrine, 4 nor (C)to devote themselves to myths and endless (D)genealogies, which promote (E)speculations rather than the stewardship[a] from God that is by faith. 5 The aim of our charge is love (F)that issues from a pure heart and (G)a good conscience and (H)a sincere faith. 6 Certain persons, by (I)swerving from these, have wandered away into (J)vain discussion, 7 desiring to be teachers of the law, (K)without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions.
