1 Timothy 1:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 [a]As I besought thee to abide still in Ephesus, when I departed into Macedonia, so do, that thou mayest warn some, that they teach none other doctrine,
4 [b]Neither that they give heed to fables and [c]genealogies which are endless, which breed questions rather than godly edifying which is by faith.
5 (A)[d] For the end of the [e]commandment is [f]love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned.

- 1 Timothy 1:3 This whole Epistle consisteth in admonitions, wherein all the duties of a faithful Pastor are lively set out. And the first admonition is this, that no innovation be made either in the Apostle’s doctrine itself, or in the manner of teaching it.
- 1 Timothy 1:4 The doctrine is corrupted not only by false opinions, but also by vain and curious speculations: the declaration and utterance whereof can nothing help our faith.
- 1 Timothy 1:4 He noteth out one kind of vain question.
- 1 Timothy 1:5 The second admonition is, that the right use and practice of the doctrine must be joined with the doctrine. And that consisteth in pure charity, and a good conscience, and true faith.
- 1 Timothy 1:5 Of the Law.
- 1 Timothy 1:5 There is neither love without a good conscience, nor a good conscience without faith, nor faith without the word of God.
