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, 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. But the goal of our (H)command is love (I)from a pure heart and a (J)good conscience and an unhypocritical (K)faith.
