As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,

From which some having swerved, have turned aside to vain jangling;

Holding faith and a good conscience; which some having put away, concerning faith have made shipwreck:

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons;

For some are already turned aside after Satan.

Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment: and some men they follow after.

Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some have coveted, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Which some professing, have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
