1 Timothy 1:3-7
World English Bible
3 As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine, 4 and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes, rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith— 5 but the goal of this command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith, 6 from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking, 7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm.

Timothy Charged to Oppose False Teachers
3 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia,(A) stay there in Ephesus(B) so that you may command certain people not to teach false doctrines(C) any longer 4 or to devote themselves to myths(D) and endless genealogies.(E) Such things promote controversial speculations(F) rather than advancing God’s work—which is by faith. 5 The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart(G) and a good conscience(H) and a sincere faith.(I) 6 Some have departed from these and have turned to meaningless talk. 7 They want to be teachers(J) of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.(K)
