The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA
New International Version NIV
3 sicut rogavi te ut remaneres Ephesi cum irem in Macedoniam ut denuntiares quibusdam ne aliter docerent
3
As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer
4 neque intenderent fabulis et genealogiis interminatis quae quaestiones praestant magis quam aedificationem Dei quae est in fide
4
or to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. Such things promote controversial speculations rather than advancing God’s work—which is by faith.
5 finis autem praecepti est caritas de corde puro et conscientia bona et fide non ficta
5
The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.
6 a quibus quidam aberrantes conversi sunt in vaniloquium
6
Some have departed from these and have turned to meaningless talk.
7 volentes esse legis doctores non intellegentes neque quae loquuntur neque de quibus adfirmant
7
They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.
8 scimus autem quia bona est lex si quis ea legitime utatur
8
We know that the law is good if one uses it properly.
9 sciens hoc quia iusto lex non est posita sed iniustis et non subditis impiis et peccatoribus sceleratis et contaminatis patricidis et matricidis homicidis
9
We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers,
10 fornicariis masculorum concubitoribus plagiariis mendacibus periuris et si quid aliud sanae doctrinae adversatur
10
for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine
11 quae est secundum evangelium gloriae beati Dei quod creditum est mihi
11
that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.
