2unto Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3As I exhorted thee to tarry at Ephesus, when I was going into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge certain men not to teach a different doctrine,
4neither to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questionings, rather than a dispensation of God which is in faith; [so do I now].
5But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned:
6from which things some having swerved have turned aside unto vain talking;
7desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor whereof they confidently affirm.
8But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully,
