1 Timothy 1:3-5

3When I left for Macedonia, I urged you to stay there in Ephesus and stop those whose teaching is contrary to the truth.

4Don’t let them waste their time in endless discussion of myths and spiritual pedigrees. These things only lead to meaningless speculations, which don’t help people live a life of faith in God.

5The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith.
