1 Timothy
Chapters 1:1-7
King James Version, American Edition
1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;
2Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith:Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father, and Jesus Christ our Lord.
3As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedo´nia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
4neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
5Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
6from which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
7desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
