AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ As I urged you to do when I was leaving Macedonia [See Acts 20:1ff], I want you to remain in Ephesus in order to urge certain people not to teach a different [i.e., false] doctrine, ⁴ and not to listen to legends or exhaustive lists of ancestors. These [only] serve to arouse speculations, rather than [promote] God’s plan which is based on faith. ⁵ But the goal of this instruction is [to] love [God and people] from a pure heart, a good conscience and a sincere faith. ⁶ Some people have strayed away from these things and have turned aside to useless discussions. ⁷ They want to be teachers of the law of Moses, even though they do not understand what they are saying or what they are affirming with [such] confidence.
