1 Timothy 1:3-7

Warning against false doctrine

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

 5 ¶ Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and  [of] a good conscience, and [of] faith unfeigned: 6 From which some having  swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; 7 Desiring to be teachers of the  law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.

3 Καθὼς παρεκάλεσά σε προσμεῖναι ἐν Ἐφέσῳ, πορευόμενος εἰς Μακεδονίαν, ἵνα παραγγείλῃς τισὶν μὴ ἑτεροδιδασκαλεῖν 4 μηδὲ προσέχειν μύθοις καὶ γενεαλογίαις ἀπεράντοις, αἵτινες ἐκζητήσεις παρέχουσι μᾶλλον ἢ οἰκονομίαν θεοῦ τὴν ἐν πίστει— 5 τὸ δὲ τέλος τῆς παραγγελίας ἐστὶν ἀγάπη ἐκ καθαρᾶς καρδίας καὶ συνειδήσεως ἀγαθῆς καὶ πίστεως ἀνυποκρίτου, 6 ὧν τινες ἀστοχήσαντες ἐξετράπησαν εἰς ματαιολογίαν, 7 θέλοντες εἶναι νομοδιδάσκαλοι, μὴ νοοῦντες μήτε ἃ λέγουσιν μήτε περὶ τίνων διαβεβαιοῦνται.
