bwe 1Timothy:1:3-11
bwe@1Timothy:1:3 @ When I went to the country of Macedonia, I asked you to stay in the city of Ephesus. I wanted you to tell some of the teachers not to teach wrong things.
bwe@1Timothy:1:4 @ Tell them not to use stories that are not true, and long histories of names. These things often make people quarrel. These things do not make people believe and follow Gods way.
bwe@1Timothy:1:5 @ Here is what teachers should aim at. Gods people should love each other with a love which comes from a clean heart, a clear mind, and true faith.
bwe@1Timothy:1:6 @ Some teachers have not tried to do these things and so they talk about things that do no good.
bwe@1Timothy:1:7 @ They want to teach the law. But they do not understand what they say. And they do not know what they are trying to prove.
bwe@1Timothy:1:8 @ We know that the law is good when anyone uses it in the right way.
bwe@1Timothy:1:9 @ He must understand that the law was not made for the man who lives right. It was made for those who do not want any laws over them, and for those who will not obey. It was made for those who do not respect God, and those who are bad people. It was made for those who do not respect anything that is holy or belongs to God. It was made for those who beat their fathers or mothers, and for those who kill people.
bwe@1Timothy:1:10 @ It was made for those who use sex in the wrong way and for men who have sex with other men. It was made for those who steal people, for those who tell lies, for those who make a promise that is not true, and for any other thing that is not right.
bwe@1Timothy:1:11 @ The wonderful good news of God teaches what is right. Praise him! And he has trusted me to tell this good news.
