1 Timothy 1:1-7 (Epistle)

1
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ, our hope,
2
to Timothy, a true son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
3
As I urged you when I went into Macedonia – remain in Ephesus that you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
4
nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith.
5
Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith,
6
from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk,
7
desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm.
