1 Timothy 1:3-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
3
Just as I urged you upon my departure for Macedonia, to remain on at Ephesus so that you would instruct certain people not to teach strange doctrines,
4
nor to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which give rise to useless speculation rather than
advance
the plan of God, which is by faith,
so I urge you now.
5
But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart,
from
a good conscience, and
from
a sincere faith.
6
Some people have strayed from these things and have turned aside to fruitless discussion,
7
wanting to be teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions.
8
But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully,
King James Version
Chapter 1
3
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,
4
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
5
Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
6
From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
7
Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
8
But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;

Chapter 1
3
As I urged you when I went to Macedonia, remain in Ephesus so that you may instruct certain people not to teach false doctrine
4
or to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies. These promote empty speculations rather than God’s plan, which operates by faith.
5
Now the goal of our instruction is love that comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith.
6
Some have departed from these and turned aside to fruitless discussion.
7
They want to be teachers of the law, although they don’t understand what they are saying or what they are insisting on.
8
But we know that the law is good, provided one uses it legitimately.
New Living Translation
Chapter 1
3
When I left for Macedonia, I urged you to stay there in Ephesus and stop those whose teaching is contrary to the truth.
4
Don’t let them waste their time in endless discussion of myths and spiritual pedigrees. These things only lead to meaningless speculations, which don’t help people live a life of faith in God.
5
The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith.
6
But some people have missed this whole point. They have turned away from these things and spend their time in meaningless discussions.
7
They want to be known as teachers of the law of Moses, but they don’t know what they are talking about, even though they speak so confidently.
8
We know that the law is good when used correctly.
English Standard Version
Chapter 1
3
As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine,
4
nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith.
5
The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.
6
Certain persons, by swerving from these, have wandered away into vain discussion,
7
desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions.
8
Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully,
New International Version
Chapter 1
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.
8
We know that the law is good if one uses it properly.
New King James Version
Chapter 1
3
As I urged you when I went into Macedonia—remain in Ephesus that you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
4
nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith.
5
Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart,
from
a good conscience, and
from
sincere faith,
6
from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk,
7
desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm.
8
But we know that the law
is
good if one uses it lawfully,
