No Other Doctrine
3 As I urged you (A)when I went into Macedonia—remain in Ephesus that you may [a]charge some (B)that they teach no other doctrine, 4 (C)nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith. 5 Now (D)the purpose of the commandment is love (E)from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from [b]sincere faith, 6 from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to (F)idle talk, 7 desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they 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)
