Not to be teaching otherwise, nor yet to be giving heed to stories and endless genealogies, - the which, bring, arguings, rather than that stewardship of God which is with faith; -

Which some, missing, have turned them aside unto idle talk,

According to the glad-message of the glory of the happy God, with which entrusted am, I.

But, which becometh women promising godliness, through means of good works.

But, if I should tarry, that thou mayest know - how it behoveth, in a house of God, to behave oneself, - the which, is an assembly a of a Living God, a pillar and basement of the truth; -

Forbidding to marry, commanding to abstain from foods which, God, created to be received with thanksgiving by them who believe and personally know the truth;

Treasuring up for themselves a good foundation for the future, that they may lay hold on the life which is life indeed.

O Timothy! that which hath been entrusted, do thou guard, avoiding the profane pratings and oppositions of falsely named knowledge, -
