1 Timothy 1:2-4

Revised Geneva Translation

² To Timothy, my natural son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father, and from Christ Jesus our Lord.

³ As I urged you when I departed into Macedonia, remain in Ephesus so that you may charge some to teach no other doctrine,

⁴ or to consider fables and endless genealogies (which breed questions rather than godly edifying, which is by faith).
