1 Timothy 1:4

← 1 Timothy 1:3	1 Timothy 1:4 (KJV)	1 Timothy 1:5 →
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:
