1 Timothy 1:3-7

MNT(i) 3 As I begged you when I was setting out for Macedonia, stay where you are at Ephesus, and instruct certain individuals there not to be teaching heterodoxy, 4 nor to be paying attention to myths and interminable genealogies, which tend to promote discussions rather than a stewardship entrusted by God, a stewardship which is in faith. 5 Now the end of the exhortation is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and an undissembled faith. 6 Some have failed here, and have turned aside to empty argument. 7 Although they desire to be teachers of the law, they understand neither the words they use nor the subjects they talk about.
