1 Timothy 1:3-11

3Even as I begged thee to remain in Ephesus, [when I was] going to Macedonia, that thou mightest enjoin some not to teach other doctrines,

4nor to turn their minds to fables and interminable genealogies, which bring questionings rather than [further] 1God's dispensation, which [is] in faith.

5But the end of what is enjoined is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned faith;

6which [things] some having missed, have turned aside to vain discourse,

7desiring to be law-teachers, not understanding either what they say or concerning what they [so] strenuously affirm.

8Now we know that the law [is] good if any one uses it lawfully,

9knowing this, that law has not its application to a righteous person, but to [the] lawless and insubordinate, to [the] impious and sinful, to [the] unholy and profane, to smiters of fathers and smiters of mothers; to murderers,

10fornicators, sodomites, kidnappers, liars, perjurers; and if any other thing is opposed to sound teaching,

11according to the glad tidings of the glory of the blessed 2God, with which I have been entrusted.
