1 Timothy 1:3–11

³ⁱAs I besought thee to abide still at ^jEphesus, ^kwhen I went into ^lMacedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they ^mteach no other doctrine, ⁴neither give heed to ⁿfables and endless ^ogenealogies, which minister ^opquestions, rather than godly ^qedifying which is in faith: so do. ⁵Now ^rthe end of the commandment is charity ^sout of a pure heart, and of ^ta good conscience, and of ^ufaith ^vunfeigned: ⁶from which some having swerved ^whave turned aside unto ^xvain jangling; ^7xxdesiring to be ^yteachers of the law; ^zunderstanding neither what they say, nor whereof they ^aaffirm. ⁸But we know that ^bthe law is good, if a man use it lawfully; ⁹knowing this, that ^cthe law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and ^ddisobedient, for ^ethe ungodly and for ^esinners, for ^funholy and ^gprofane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, ¹⁰for ^hwhoremongers, for ^hithem that defile themselves with mankind, for ^kmenstealers, for ^lliars, for ^mperjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to ⁿsound doctrine; ¹¹according to ^othe glorious gospel of ^pthe blessed God, ^qwhich was committed to my trust.
