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

³ As I besought thee, when I set out for Macedonia, to remain still in Ephesus, that thou mightst charge certain persons not to teach other doctrine, ⁴ nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which occasion disputes rather than promote Gods dispensation which is in faith, [so I do now.] ⁵ Now the end of the commandment is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned; ⁶ from which some swerving turned aside to vain babbling, ⁷ desiring to be teachers of the Law, understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. ⁸ But we know that the Law is good, if a man use it lawfully, ⁹ knowing this, that the Law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and unruly, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, ¹⁰ for whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to the sound teaching, ¹¹ according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust.
