rsv 1Timothy:1:3-11 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia ,
remain at Ephesus that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine ,
*
nor to occupy themselves with myths and endless genealogies which promote speculations rather than the divine training that is in faith ;
*
whereas the aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith .
*
Certain persons by swerving from these have wandered away into vain discussion ,
*
desiring to be teachers of the law ,
without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make assertions .
*
Now we know that the law is good ,
if any one uses it lawfully ,
*
understanding this ,
that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient ,
for the ungodly and sinners ,
for the unholy and profane ,
for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers ,
for manslayers ,
*
immoral persons ,
sodomites ,
kidnapers ,
liars ,
perjurers ,
and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine ,
*
in accordance with the glorious gospel of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted .
