1 Timothy 1:3-11
Correcting False Teachers

3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,

3:

4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: [so do].

4:

5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and [of] a good conscience, and [of] faith unfeigned:

5:

6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;

6:

7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.

7:

8 But we know that the law [is] good, if a man use it lawfully;

8:

9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

9:

10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;

10:

11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

11:
