As I requested you to remain at Ephesus, when going into Macedonia, that you might charge some not to preach another doctrine,

which some having missed turned aside to vain words,

having faith and a good conscience, which some having cast away have suffered shipwreck of the faith;

But the Spirit says expressly, that in the last times some shall apostatize from the faith, attending to lying spirits and doctrines of demons,

and at the same time also, being idle, they learn to go from house to house, and not only are they idle, they are also tattlers and mischief makers, saying what they ought not.

for some have already turned back after Satan.

The sins of some men are manifest, going before to judgment; but some they follow;

For the love of money is a root of all evils, which some having desired have been misled from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

which some having professed have erred from the faith. The grace be with you.
