Etheridge(i)
3 I requested of thee, when I would go into Makedunia, to remain at Ephesos, and instruct certain men that they teach not various doctrines,
4 nor throw themselves (away) upon stories and tales of generations which have no end,[Soko, "design or scope."] (but) which rather subserve contentions, and not edification in the faith of Aloha.
5 But the end [Soko, "design or scope."] of the commandment is love, from a pure heart, and from a good conscience, and from genuine faith.
6 And from them that have erred, and have declined to vain words,
7 seeking to become teachers of the law, while they understand not what they speak, nor that concerning which they contend.
