1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,
2 to Timothy, my true child in the faith. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Just as I urged you when I traveled to Macedonia, remain in Ephesus, so that you may instruct certain people not to teach other doctrine,
4 and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause useless speculations rather than God’s plan that is by faith.
