1 Timothy 1:3–11

³As I desired thee to remain at Ephesus when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some not to teach otherwise:

⁴Not to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which furnish questions rather than the edification of God which is in faith.

⁵Now the end of the commandment is charity from a pure heart, and a good conscience, and an unfeigned faith.

⁶From which things some, going astray, are turned aside unto vain babbling:

⁷Desiring to be teachers of the law: understanding neither the things they say, nor whereof they affirm.

⁸But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully.

⁹Knowing this: That the law is not made for the just man but for the unjust and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the wicked and defiled, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

¹⁰For fornicators, for them who defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and whatever other thing is contrary to sound doctrine:

¹¹Which is according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God which hath been committed to my trust.
