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,

from the which things, some have erred, and have turned unto vain jangling,

having faith and good conscience, which some have put away from them, and as concerning faith have made shipwreck.

The spirit speaketh evidently that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, and shall give heed unto spirits of error,

Some men's sins are open beforehand and go before unto judgement: some men's sins follow after.

For covetousness is the root of all evil, which while some lusted after, they erred from the faith, and tangled themselves with many sorrows.

which science, while some professed, they have erred as concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. {The end of the First Epistle unto Timothy, Sent from Laodicea, which is the Chiefest city of Phrygia Pacatiana.}
