1Timothy:1:3-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus ,
when I went into Macedonia ,
that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine ,
*
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies ,
which minister questions ,
rather than godly edifying which is in faith :
so do .
*
Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart ,
and of a good conscience ,
and of faith unfeigned :
*
From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling ;
*
Desiring to be teachers of the law ;
understanding neither what they say ,
nor whereof they affirm .
*
But we know that the law is good ,
if a man use it lawfully ;
*
Knowing this ,
that the law is not made for a righteous man ,
but for the lawless and disobedient ,
for the ungodly and for sinners ,
for unholy and profane ,
for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers ,
for manslayers ,
*
For whoremongers ,
for them that defile themselves with mankind ,
for menstealers ,
for liars ,
for perjured persons ,
and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine ;
*
According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God ,
which was committed to my trust .
