1 Timothy 1:3-7

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on 1 Timothy 1:3-7

3As I urged you on my departure to Macedonia, you should stay on at Ephesus to instruct certain men not to teach false doctrines
4or devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculation rather than the stewardship of God’s work, which is by faith.
5The goal of our instruction is the love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and a sincere faith.
6Some have strayed from these ways and turned aside to empty talk.
7They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not understand what they are saying or that which they so confidently assert.
— 1 Timothy 1:3-7
