1 Timothy 1:3-5 - 1599 Geneva Bible
3 As I besought thee to abide still in Ephesus, when I departed into Macedonia, so do, that thou mayest warn some, that they teach none other doctrine,4 Neither that they give heed to fables and genealogies which are endless, which breed questions rather than godly edifying which is by faith.
5 For the end of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned.
Brethren:
The Apostle herein instructs Timothy to remain steadfast in the faith, and in the Gospel of Christ as taught to him by Paul. Do not stray from the from it, but use it instead to teach. Doing so in loving firmness. (Read Romans 13:10). For love is pure and undefiled when it comes from God and is passed along to the believer.
R.P. Woitowitz
“Charge some to teach no other doctrine, than that I have taught. Let them put nothing in place of it [and likewise] add nothing to it. And this was particularly the end of the commandment which Timothy was to enforce. The foundation is faith, the end love. But this can only subsist in the heart purified by faith and is always attended with good conscience.” - Charles Weslesy
