1 Timothy 1:3-7

BBE(i) 3 It was my desire, when I went on into Macedonia, that you might make a stop at Ephesus, to give orders to certain men not to put forward a different teaching, 4 Or to give attention to stories and long lists of generations, from which come questionings and doubts, in place of God's ordered way of life which is in faith; 5 But the effect of the order is love coming from a clean heart, and a knowledge of what is right, and true faith: 6 From which some have been turned away, giving themselves to foolish talking; 7 Desiring to be teachers of the law, though they have no knowledge of what they say or of the statements which they make so certainly.
