1 Paul, an emissary of Messiah Yeshua by the command of God our Savior and Messiah Yeshua, our hope.
2 To Timothy, a true child in faith: Grace, mercy, shalom from God the Father and Messiah Yeshua, our Lord!
3 As I urged you, when I was leaving for Macedonia, stay in Ephesus to direct certain people not to pass on different instruction,
4 or to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies. These give rise to useless speculations rather than God’s training which is in faithfulness.
5 Now the goal of this command is love from of a pure heart and a clear conscience and a genuine faith.
