1 Timothy 1:3-7

Good News Translation w/ Apocrypha GNTA

3 I want you to stay in Ephesus, just as I urged you when I was on my way to Macedonia. Some people there are teaching false doctrines, and you must order them to stop.

4 Tell them to give up those legends and those long lists of ancestors, which only produce arguments; they do not serve God's plan, which is known by faith.

5 The purpose of this order is to arouse the love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and a genuine faith.

6 Some people have turned away from these and have lost their way in foolish discussions.

7 They want to be teachers of God's law, but they do not understand their own words or the matters about which they speak with so much confidence.

New International Version NIV

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 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 The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.

6 Some have departed from these and have turned to meaningless talk.

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.
