1 Timothy 1:1-5 - ESV Online

1 TIMOTHY 1:1-5

« 2 Thessalonians 3 | 1 Timothy 1 | 1 Timothy 2 »

Greeting

  1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,
    2 To Timothy, my true child in the faith:
    Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. Warning Against False Teachers

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.
