1 Timothy 1:3-7
New International Version
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)
