1 Timothy 1:2-4

GOD’S WORD Translation

² To Timothy, a genuine child in faith.

Good will,^[a] mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord are yours!

A Warning about False Teachers

³ When I was going to the province of Macedonia, I encouraged you to stay in the city of Ephesus. That way you could order certain people to stop teaching false doctrine ⁴ and occupying themselves with myths and endless genealogies. These myths and genealogies raise a lot of questions rather than promoting God’s plan, which centers in faith.
