As, on going into Macedonia, I besought you to remain in Ephesus, that you might charge some that they teach no other thing,

holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust from them, as it respects faith have made shipwreck; of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander,

Do not rebuke an elderly man, but entreat him as a father; the younger men, as brothers:

the elder women, as mothers; the younger women, as sisters, with all purity.

Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God, and his teaching, be not reviled.

by making a profession of this knowledge, some have erred as it respects the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.
