1 Timothy 1:3-11 - Instructions For Timothy In Ephesus

³ As I besought thee to abide still in Ephesus when I departed into Macedonia; even so, do: that thou command some that they teach no other wise, ⁴ neither give heed to fables and genealogies, which are endless, and breed doubts, more than Godly edifying which is by faith: ⁵ For the end of the commandment is love that cometh of a pure heart and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: ⁶ from the which things, some have erred, and have turned unto vain jangling, ⁷ because they would be doctors of the scripture, and yet understand not what they speak, neither whereof they affirm. ⁸ We know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; ⁹ understanding this, how that the law is not given unto a righteous man, but unto the unrighteous and disobedient, to the ungodly and to sinners, to unholy and unclean, to murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, to manslayers ¹⁰ and whoremongers; to them that defile themselves with mankind; to menstealers; to liars and to perjured, and so forth if there be any other thing that is contrary to wholesome doctrine ¹¹ according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which gospel is committed unto me.
